Directions
Step 1
Place a Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liner in the insert of a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, press it as flat as possible against the bottom and sides, then fold the liner over the top.
Step 2
Add the sausage, tomatoes, celery, green peppers, onions and scallion whites. Whisk together the tomato paste, flour, garlic, cayenne and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl.
Step 3
Add the mixture to the slow cooker with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat well.
Step 4
Add the bay leaf, cover and cook until the vegetables are
cooked through and the stew thickens, 5 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
Step 5
Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and black pepper over the shrimp.
Step 6
Submerge the shrimp in the broth in the slow cooker, cover and leave undisturbed until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Step 7
Stir in the scallion greens and serve over rice.
