Creating the Cajun Sausage and Rice Skillet is straightforward. Just follow these steps:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Dice the sausage, onion, and bell pepper. Mince the garlic.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook Sausage: Add the sausage to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
5. Incorporate Rice: Add the long-grain rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the sausage and vegetables.
6. Spices and Tomatoes: Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning, paprika, and black pepper over the mixture. Add the can of diced tomatoes (with juices) and stir.
7. Add Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and stir again. Bring to a boil.
8. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
9. Add Corn: Stir in the corn during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
10. Check for Doneness: Ensure the rice is cooked through. If it needs more time, cover and let it sit for another few minutes.
11. Serve: Once done, fluff the rice gently with a fork. Garnish with chopped green onions.
