Shrimp and Sausage with Saffron Rice

I bought saffron super cheap on my last trip to Africa, so I use it liberally in this dish.  My husband finds that the frozen cooked shrimp give the best end result for this.  I also use my Ball Jam Maker to give this a great texture from the constant stirring.

1 t olive oil

1/2 c chopped onion
8 oz chicken or turkey sausage
2 c broth
1 t saffron
2 c rice
1 c shrimp
1/2 c frozen peas

Add oil and onions to pot.  Cook for 5 min then add sausage.  Cook for 5 minutes and add broth, saffron, and rice.  Simmer for 5 minutes then add remaining ingredients.  Cook for 15 minutes until rice is tender.
