Directions

Prep 10 minCook 60 min

1
Place shrimp shells in a pot, cover with water by about 1 inch, bring to a boil, then turn off the heat. Let steep 15–20 minutes, strain, and reserve the stock; discard shells.
2
In a large heavy pot, brown the sliced andouille over medium heat, 4–5 minutes, rendering some fat.
3
Stir in diced bell peppers and onion with a pinch of salt and the red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant, 7–8 minutes; add garlic and cook 2–3 minutes more.
4
Add diced tomatoes and cayenne; stir in the rice to coat evenly.
5
Pour in 4 cups reserved shrimp stock, add bay leaf and bundled thyme sprigs, and season with salt to taste. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook over low to medium-low heat until rice is mostly tender, about 25 minutes.
6
Fold in the shrimp, cover, and cook until just pink and opaque, 5–7 minutes. Remove bay leaf and thyme; garnish with sliced scallions and serve.
