Directions:
Directions:
Use a heavy pot. cover bottom with a good layer of olive oil. Add all the veggies, herbs and spices,and sauté. Add the sausage and rice and cook till the rice is bright white then add the box of stock, tomatoes and shrimp. Make sure the liquid covers everything and is an inch above the contents so there is plenty of liquid for the rice to absorb. Use water if the stock is not enough.Keep lid off while bringing to a boil- mix a few times to get the rice off the bottom. After rice is about half cooked, turn it to a simmer and put the lid on the pot till rice is cooked.

I always make cornbread to go with this. In New Orleans, they put whatever leftovers they have into this like ham, chicken, any kind of seafood.
