1 package Open Nature Fully Cooked Smoked Andouille Chicken Sausage, sliced
1 lb shrimp, shelled and deveined

Directions:

Cook rice and flavor mix in a pot. Use only 2 cups of water instead of 2-1/2 cups since vegetables are wet and will add moisture.

In a large skillet, brown onions, peppers, and garlic in oil until browned. Add green leafy vegetables and optionally tomatillos. Add protein and make sure if it is shrimp make sure it is cooked through. Serve with a vegetable side dish.
