Step-by-step

0/5 done

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F and stand the hollowed bell peppers upright in a baking dish, ready to hold the filling.
2
Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the ground beef, sausage, onion, garlic, and diced pepper tops with the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until the meat is browned and the vegetables have softened.
3
Stir in the tomato sauce or fire-roasted tomatoes and the cooked rice, then simmer for 3 to 4 minutes so the flavors come together. Fold in half of the shredded cheese until evenly incorporated.
4
Divide the filling among the prepared peppers and scatter the remaining cheese over the tops. Bake for about 25 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the cheese is hot and melted.
5
Season the shrimp with the extra Cajun seasoning and sauté in a skillet with a little of the olive oil for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until pink and just cooked through. Arrange the shrimp over the baked peppers and finish with the sliced green onions and optional sesame seeds.
