Our Spicy Dirty Rice Dressing with Shrimp & Sausage will fast become a family tradition on the holiday table.  Brown rice, pork sausage, shrimp and the perfect amount of kick will make this dirty rice dressing a dish you’ll want seconds of!

Our Spicy Dirty Rice Dressing with Shrimp & Sausage will fast become a family tradition on the holiday table.  Brown rice, pork sausage, shrimp and the perfect amount of kick will make this dirty rice dressing a dish you'll want seconds of!In my house we never “stuff the bird” for the  holiday meal.  For one, it’s not super safe.  Who wants to give food poisoning to their friends and family?  Not I!!! We also don’t usually have a “whole bird” to stuff.  I love to break down the turkey before cooking first, mostly because it’s more fun to cook that way.  We often grill the white meat and slow braise the dark meat.

Anywho, that’s all just a long explanation to say, we don’t serve stuffing, we serve dressing.  In my opinion, it’s the same thing, except for how you prepare it – either in or outside of the turkey.  I play around with the dressing, always riffing on favorite flavor combos.  But, one thing stays the same – there’s always rice and pork sausage.

This year, my dressing is being served Southern Style.  Chock full of pork sausage and shrimp, and tossed with flavorful brown rice with the perfect amount of kick.  Flavored with TABASCO® brand Original Red Sauce, this Dirty Rice Dressing has the perfect amount of spice to enhance the flavor of the rice without overpowering it.

And then, since our table is full of guests that luh-ove some hot sauce, we usually include a  TABASCO® hot sauce bar, featuring TABASCO® Brand Pepper Sauce, Chipotle Pepper Sauce, and Green Jalapeño Sauce so each person can personalize their Dirty Rice Dressing with their favorite hot sauce.

Cook brown rice according to package directions with chicken stock instead of water.  My rice cooker requires three cups of stock for 1 1/2 cups of brown rice, but if you’re cooking the rice on the stovetop, just follow the directions on the rice package.

Along with the stock, also add the bay leaves, TABASCO®, paprika, and thyme.

When brown rice is close to being done, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add onion, bell pepper and garlic and saute until translucent.  Add in sausage and cook, breaking it up, cooked through and no longer pink.
