Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 sweet onion small, diced
  • 1 bell pepper diced small, red was used in this recipe
  • 2 celery stalks diced, celery leaves for garnish
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 1/4 cups long-grain brown rice we used Uncle Ben's Whole Grain Brown Rice
  • 3 cups broth vegetable or chicken, fat-free
  • 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
  • 14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes can
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound shrimp medium, deveined and peeled, leave tails on if desired

Instructions

  • Add oil to a large skillet and turn to medium-low heat, add onion, bell pepper, and celery and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 1 additional minute. Add rice, stir and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Add remaining ingredients, except shrimp, bring to a rolling boil, cover and reduce to a simmer until rice is tender, about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. NOTE: The amount of time it takes to get the rice tender will depend on the long grain brand. Uncle Ben's takes about 30 minutes.
  • Add shrimp and cook, over medium-low heat, until pink, about 6 minutes. Turn off the stove burner and allow to set covered for 5 minutes. Add celery leaves as a garnish, if desired.
  • Enjoy!
