Head to the store and pick up canned tomatoes, kielbasa, shrimp, and a few other things to make it today. To use up the olive oil you could follow this main course with the Sauteed Banana, Granolan and Yogurt Parfait as a dessert.
Instructions
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
Add the kielbasa and cook until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and their juices along with 1/2 cup of water and bring to a boil. Stir in the rice mix. Reduce heat, cover, and cook for the time specified on the rice package.
Add the shrimp and stir. Cover and cook until the shrimp are pink, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the hot pepper sauce (if using). Spoon into individual bowls.
Recommended wine: Albarino, Rose Wine, Sauvignon Blanc
Albarino, rosé Wine, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Cajun. These low-tannin, lower alcohol wines will complement the heat in spicy cajun dishes, instead of making your mouth burn more. The Don Olegario Albarino with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.
Don Olegario Albarino
Don Olegario Albariño is a quintessential expression of this elegant, aromatic variety, showing bright citrus, grapefruit and white fruit flavors and aromas with seductive floral notes underscored by a fresh, vibrant acidity. The finish is long and vivid, ending on a crisp note of lemon peel.
