Preparation
STEP 1

Heat a large, high-sided sauté pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add sausage and brown well. (If sausages are lean, add a little olive oil to pan.) Remove from pan and set aside.

STEP 2

Return pan to heat and add onion, green peppers and garlic. Sauté until lightly browned, adding olive oil if necessary.

STEP 3

Add ham and sauté for 5 minutes.

STEP 4

Add browned sausages, tomatoes, chicken broth, rice, bay leaf, thyme and Cajun seasoning. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 25 minutes, or until rice is just tender.

STEP 5

Add shrimp, wine and parsley. Continue cooking until shrimp is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning and serve.
