# Required Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 370 g turkey kielbasa, sliced into 6 mm rounds
02 - olive oil spray
03 - 2 bell peppers, diced
04 - 1 onion, diced
05 - 480 g cherry tomatoes, halved
06 - 1.5 cups (285 g) white rice, uncooked
07 - 680 g raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
08 - 3 scallions, chopped
09 - 3 cups (710 ml) reduced sodium chicken broth

→ Seasonings

10 - 1 teaspoon paprika
11 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
12 - 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
13 - 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
14 - 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper, plus more for heat

# How to Make It:

01 - Slice turkey kielbasa into 6 mm rounds. Spray the bottom of a Dutch oven or large pot with olive oil and set over medium-high heat. Add kielbasa slices and cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the outsides to brown and flavor to develop.
02 - Dice the bell peppers and onion, then add to the pot after kielbasa has browned. Sauté for approximately 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender, using the released moisture to scrape browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
03 - Add paprika, dried oregano, onion powder, kosher salt, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine. Incorporate halved cherry tomatoes and mix well.
04 - Add uncooked white rice to the pot and stir to combine. Pour in reduced sodium chicken broth and stir again to distribute evenly. Bring mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer.
05 - Allow the mixture to cook, covered, for 15–20 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked and tender. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
06 - Stir in raw shrimp, cover, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until shrimp turn opaque and are firm to the touch.
07 - Add chopped scallions and toss gently to combine. Taste for salt and heat, adjusting if desired, before plating.

# Additional Information:

01 - Adding the shrimp at the end prevents overcooking; always taste and adjust seasonings before serving.
