Method

STEP 1

Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook, turning halfway through cooking, for 3 mins or until golden.

STEP 2

Add capsicum and celery to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 mins or until the capsicum softens. Add tomato paste and Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring, for 1 min or until aromatic. Add the stock. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for 10 mins or until the sauce thickens slightly. Season.

STEP 3

Add the marinara mix to the stock mixture and stir to combine. Increase heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 5 mins or until the seafood is cooked through.

STEP 4

Meanwhile, heat the rice following packet directions.

STEP 5

Divide the rice and seafood mixture among serving bowls. Sprinkle with spring onion and parsley to serve.

Swap me to make this without seafood, use 500g chicken breast fillets, chopped.
