1/2 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1/2 lb crawfish tails (fresh or frozen)
1/2 lb Andouille sausage (sliced)
3 cups cooked rice (preferably cold, day-old rice works best)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 bell pepper (diced)
2 eggs (beaten)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional for a spicy kick)
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 cup green onions (chopped, for garnish)
Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

How to Make Crawfish, Shrimp & Andouille Sausage Fried Rice

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

If you’re using frozen crawfish tails, thaw them in the fridge ahead of time.
Cook the rice if you haven’t done so already. Cold, day-old rice works best for fried rice because it’s less sticky and holds its texture better.
Slice the Andouille sausage into thin rounds, and peel and devein the shrimp if not already done.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage and Shrimp

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the Andouille sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes, until slightly browned and crispy. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and cooked through. Remove and set aside with the sausage.

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan.
Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.

Step 4: Scramble the Eggs

Push the veggies to one side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs for 1-2 minutes, cooking them until just set.
Once the eggs are cooked, mix them in with the veggies.

Step 5: Add the Rice and Seasonings

Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir everything together.
Pour in the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce (if using). Stir to coat the rice evenly.
Sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning and smoked paprika, stirring to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
