This is a favorite I found on the Internet years ago. It's a meal in itself, and is excellent. I omit the salt and pepper. This is a favorite I found on the Internet years ago. It's a meal in itself, and is excellent. I omit the salt and pepper.

Ingredients

    3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    3 red chili peppers
    4 cloves of garlic
    1 cup diced onion
    1 cup red and yellow bell peppers
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
    1 14.5 ounce can stewed tomatoes
    1 cup summer sausage
    1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp
    4 cups cooked rice
    salt and pepper to taste

Directions

In a large skillet, place 3 tablespoons EV0 on medium to high heat. Next, infuse the oil with the chili peppers. Do this by cutting the peppers in half and laying them in the oil, turning them often with tongs until the oil reaches a sizzle.

Remove the chili peppers and add in 4 cloves of minced garlic. Brown the garlic and then add in the onion and bell peppers. Let this cook for about five minutes stirring often.

Add in herbs and tomatoes. Cook for about 3 more minutes, and then add in summer sausage until warmed through. Next add shrimp and cook until tender and white-pink, approximately 3 minutes.

Add to the mixture 4 cups of cooked rice; fold in. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, to taste.

Makes approx. 14 - 16 one-half cup servings
