Strain the shells from the broth, add the broth, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves and rice to the sausage and vegetables, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the rice is tender and the sauce has reduced and thickened to the desired thickness, about 20-40 minutes.
Add the shrimp and cook until cooked, about 3-5 minutes.
Season with salt, pepper and cayenne to taste and served topped with the green onions and hot sauce on the side.
