Sautéed Cajun Shrimp
FLAVOR BOOSTER Cooking rice in chicken broth instead of water makes a richer tasting dish, without adding much to the calorie count. Andouille sausage, a Cajun specialty, has a pronounced smokiness; a little goes a long way.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil over medium. Add onion; cook until softened, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil. Stir in rice; season with salt and pepper. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil over medium. Add bell peppers and cook until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 minutes. Add sausage and shrimp; cook until sausage is heated through and shrimp are opaque throughout, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
To serve, divide rice among four shallow bowls; top with shrimp mixture, and drizzle with any pan juices.
