1
Saute sausage in oil for about 3 minutes until browned as much as you like.

Add garlic, onion and bell pepper.
3
Cook a few minutes until tender.
4
Add tomatoes, seasoning, rice and water.

Stir well and bring to a boil.

(At this point, you can add 1 to 2 pounds peeled, deveined shrimp if you want to.)
7
Reduce heat and cover.
8
Simmer over low heat for 25 to 30 minutes until rice is cooked.
9
Remember when you are seasoning with the Tony Chacheres seasoning that you are seasoning the rice, so I am VERY GENEROUS.

Of course, we like it spicy at our house.

You can taste it before adding the rice, and then add more!

Note: I have never measured how much Tony Chacheres Seasoning I use.
