2. With 10 minutes remaining on rice cooking time, add oil to a large, non-stick skillet. Using medium heat, saute onion, pepper and celery until soft, stiring as needed to prevent overcooking. Add garlic and sausage. Cook a few minutes then add shrimp. Stir and flip to cook shrimp through.

4. Add rice to sausage-shrimp mix and stir to combine. Top each serving with a sprinkling of green onion.

    Andouille? You really get these in the US? I've only seen in France! - 2/21/12

    I didn't think about that! Andouille is a sausage from Louisiana (I live in Mississippi- next door), which is very influenced by french creole cooking so that makes sense that you would find it in France as well. It's delicious!
