Shrimp and Sausage Pot (print recipe)
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound hot or sweet bulk Italian sausage or 1 pound of links, split from casings. If you have children get the sausage that you know they will like.
- 2 cubanelle or sweet banana or anaheim or bell peppers (1 medium), seeded and chopped..again, for kids, you may want to stick to the bell pepper.
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper (taste before you season-the chicken stock has salt added)
- 1 can stewed tomatoes (15 ounces)
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 bay leaf, fresh or dried
- 1 pound large, peeled, deveined shrimp
- A handful of basil leaves, torn or shredded
- 1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, a handful, chopped
- 1 loaf ciabatta bread or any favorite bread
Directions:
Pre-heat the oven to 325?F.
Heat a large, high-sided skillet or Dutch oven over medium to medium-high heat with the olive oil, a couple of turns of the pan. Add the sausage and crumble and brown it for 3-4 minutes, then add the peppers, onions and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes more so that the vegetables start to soften.
Add the tomatoes, stock and bay leaf, then stir and bring up to a boil. Add the shrimp and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Cook for 5 minutes, then uncover and stir in the basil and parsley. Turn off the heat.
Crisp the bread in the hot oven. Serve in shallow bowls with crusty bread alongside for mopping.
