Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Slotted Spoon
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Ingredients

Seafood

  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

Meat

  • 1 pound sausage, sliced Use smoked kielbasa or andouille for best flavor.

Vegetables

  • 4 large potatoes, diced About 1/2-inch cubes.
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can diced tomatoes 14.5 ounces, undrained.

Spices

  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon thyme, dried
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper Adjust to taste.
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper

Oils

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For sautéing.

Instructions

  • Peel and devein the shrimp. Dice the potatoes, chop the onion, and mince the garlic. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and set aside.
  • Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned on both sides, about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the sausage.
  • Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, tossing so they begin to absorb the flavors and pick up color.
  • Return the sausage to the pot. Add the chicken broth, diced tomatoes with their juices, paprika, thyme, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • In the last 10 minutes of cooking, add the shrimp to the pot. Cook uncovered until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes depending on size.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley or sliced green onions and serve hot with crusty bread or steamed rice.

Notes

For a thicker stew, mash a few potato pieces against the pot side with a spoon to thicken the broth naturally.
