Jumpin Shrimp Jambalaya

Don't know why...I was on a cajun kick this week.  It never hurts to spice it up, right?
I threw together this jambalaya mix pretty easily.

G Free Shrimp Jambalya
1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp
1 large red pepper, diced thickly
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2-3 stalks of celery, sliced
2 large carrots, peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 small russet potatoes, diced
1 28 oz. can of crushed tomatoes with juices
1 cup brown rice, prepared
1 tsp. or so of Frank's Red Hot sauce
1 TBSP of cajun seasoning
salt and pepper

Sautee all veggies. and garlic in 2 TBSP olive oil until soft. Add the crushed tomatoes, with juices, and then add your hot sauce and seasoning. Let it simmer for a few minutes.
Boil your shrimp, adding some cajun seasoning to the water.  Add shrimp and rice to the sauce, toss, and enjoy with a bold, spicy red wine.
