Best 2 Boston Pizza Jambalaya Pasta Recipes

JAMBALAYA FETTUCCINE

Steps:

• Whisk together the salt, cayenne, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
• Sprinkle chicken cubes with 1/3 of the seasoning mix and toss to coat.
• In a separate bowl, do the same with the shrimp, using another 1/3 of the seasonings.
• Begin cooking the pasta.
• Place a large, heavy, deep skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tablespoons of the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Quickly sear the chicken on two sides, about 3 minutes, and then add shrimp and brown each side for 30 seconds. Remove to a bowl.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoons olive oil to the pan and toss in the kielbasa sausage, tomatoes, bell pepper, and onion. Sprinkle with remaining 1/3 of the spice blend and cook over high heat until vegetables are browned and softened. Add half of the chicken stock and continue cooking over high heat until most of the stock has evaporated.
• Add garlic and wine, stirring for 2 minutes. Add remaining chicken stock, along with the reserved chicken and shrimp. Stir, scraping up browned bits from the bottom, and simmer another 3 minutes until slightly reduced.
• Serve over the cooked fettuccine.

PASTA JAMBALAYA

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup cooking water; keep warm.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the shrimp with 2 teaspoons of the Cajun seasoning, and add to the Dutch oven. Cook, stirring occasionally, just until the shrimp turn pink, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the Dutch oven; sprinkle the chicken with 2 teaspoons of the Cajun seasoning. Add the chicken to the Dutch oven, and cook, turning to brown on all sides, until done, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to the plate with the shrimp. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the Dutch oven; add the sausage, onion, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the sausage is browned and the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic; cook 1 minute. Add the stock, and cook 30 seconds, stirring and scraping to loosen browned bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven. Add the tomatoes, thyme, and remaining 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning; cook about 2 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream.
• Add the shrimp, chicken, pasta, and reserved 1 cup cooking water to the Dutch oven; toss to combine. Cook until the mixture is thoroughly heated and the sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, and add the Parmesan and basil; toss to combine.
