This is a good, simple, make ahead meal. Just add the shrimp 5 minutes before you sit down to eat. It seems like a lot of ingredients but the whole prep time is only 20 to 25 minutes. Then it cooks itself for about another 25 minutes.
1 lb. fresh or frozen deveined shrimp
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped green sweet pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp. cooking oil
2 cups chicken broth
1 141/2 oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained
8 ounces kielbasa , halved lengthwise and cut in 1/2-inch slices
3/4 cup uncooked long grain rice
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/2 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne) or to taste
1 bay leaf
1 cup cubed cooked ham
Thaw shrimp if frozen, refrigerate. In a 12-inch skillet cook onion, celery, sweet pepper and garlic in hot oil until tender. Stir in chicken broth, undrained tomatoes, sausage, rice, herbs, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, red pepper and bay leaf. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, covered for 15 minutes.
Stir in shrimp. Return to boiling. Simmer, covered about 5 minutes more or until shrimp turns opaque and rice is tender. Stir in ham; heat through. Discard bay leaf. Enjoy with some nice crusty bread.

Eventhough its rice and shrimp, the sausage and ham make it seem like such a hearty meal! I confess I’ve never made this and always wanted to. the recipe seems pretty easy. Thanks for posting this!

You know, if we actually ate nice healthy meals in proportion, we could eat whatever we wanted and never have a problem. We could eat the good stuff and be fine, its the over doing that we suck at. lol.

IF.. that is the BIGGEST word in the Dictionary.. ha hahhhhhaaaa to that ..
put will power.. etc..
and damn our wonderful tastebuds to that sucky place..
You must have been looking in at my gf’s and my emails of today.. it is a constant constant
battle.. did not get the skinny gene and that is what Really Sucks!
Watched an episode of the Drs. today and an episode of Dr, Oz.. 3 pages of jumbled up
notes.. if it would work by osmosis I would be the healthiest .. most in shape.. girl on the
planet.. I did get a few good ideas.. on a gaget for allergenic eyes.. ( my allergies were
SO SO bad today.. ) what to look for in wrinkle cream.. and what to make sure is part
of daily diet to ward off alzheimers..
I must go try to start sleeping now.. that is one of the things we need.. sleep..
oh.. and please pass on to all our readers.. I did talk to my ‘source’ yesterday.. they are
adamit that the clock has an enternal reset funtion to keep it running properly and that
is what happened.. I said if the clock needs this reset it should happen between periods.
And I think this is going to cause the league to look at having uniformality in this.. i know
there are different clocks at different arenas but they should have a set policy so this problem does not occur again.
GO KINGS GO!!!
