Ingredients:

Serving

4 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 1/2 cups chopped red onions
4 oz sliced mushrooms
2 stalks celery, sliced
1/2 cup sliced cucumber (or in half-moon slices, preferred)
1/2 cup roughly chopped roasted red pepper (from the jar is fine )
1/2 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained
1/3 cup halved pitted large green olives
3 large garlic cloves, pressed
2 cups converted rice (such as uncle ben's)
1/4 tsp generous good quality saffron thread
salt & freshly ground black pepper , to taste
2 cajun-spiced fresh sausages (about 3/4 lb)
13 1/2 oz peeled tomatoes, drained
6 cups chicken broth
4 super-jumbo shrimp (approx 1 1/3 lb)
3 scallions , cut into 1-inch pieces

Directions:

Put 2 tablespoons olive oil into very large skillet (a paella pan is best) and add the chopped red onion, sauté until partially browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in another skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat and add mushrooms and celery and sauté for 5 minutes.
Add the diced cucumber to the mushroom mixture and sauté an additional 5 minutes.
Add mushroom mixture into the onion mixture in the large skillet, along with roasted red pepper, artichoke, olives, garlic, rice, saffron, and salt and pepper (to taste), and sauté for 7 minutes.
Meanwhile, in another pan (you can use the one from the mushroom mixture), sauté the fresh sausage until browned, about 5 minutes.
Add browned sausage, tomatoes, and broth to the large skillet, stir and simmer for 5 minutes (do NOT stir after this point).
Top mixture with the shrimp and scallions and simmer for an additional 10 minutes or until the rice is done and the super-jumbo shrimp are pink and cooked through - you can cover it for the last 5 minutes to help the shrimp cook through, if necessary.
Serve immediately.
