Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil divided
1 pound shrimp raw, peeled and deveined
2 teaspoons Finest Reserve Creole seasoning divided
salt and pepper to taste
2 stalks celery diced
2 bell peppers any color
1 medium onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 pound smoked andouille sausage cut in 1/2 inch slices
1 teaspoon Finest Reserve garlic powder
1 Finest Reserve bay leaf
14 ounces fire roasted diced tomatoes

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium high heat. Add sliced andouille sausage to the pan and cook until caramelized and browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
While sausage is cooking, pat the shrimp dry with paper towel before sprinkling with 1 teaspoon of the Finest Reserve Creole seasoning plus salt and pepper to taste. Once you've removed browned sausage from the pan, add the raw, seasoned shrimp and cook just until bright pink, about 3-4 minutes flipping once. Remove cooked shrimp from pan and set aside.
Add the second tablespoon of olive oil to the hot pan along with the diced onions and peppers. Sprinkle with salt and pepper then stir well to begin softening. Grate garlic with a microplane or mince with a knife then add to the pan. Stir well before adding in the second teaspoon of Creole seasoning as well as 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Continue sauteing veggies until soft and tender, about 3-4 additional minutes.
Return the cooked sausage and shrimp to the pan along with the fire roasted diced tomatoes. Stir well and sprinkle with another pinch salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then add in bay leaf. Reduce to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes before serving.
