SHRIMP, SAUSAGE, AND FISH JAMBALAYA



Shrimp, Sausage, and Fish Jambalaya image

Did a lot of research on jambalaya and reviewed a number of recipes and came up with the following. I like white fish and, while not traditional, added chunks of cod fillet to this dish. You want to add the shrimp and fish to the dish with about 10 minutes to go so it does not overcook. Cook uncovered if it is soupy and covered if it is not during these last 10 minutes. Finally, try to find andouille sausage if possible. It makes all the difference.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup butter
10 ounces andouille sausage, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch half-moons
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced green bell pepper
1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (such as Lea & Perrins®)
1 ½ teaspoons Cajun seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's), or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups medium-grain rice
¾ pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
¾ pound cod fillets, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
salt to taste
⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Cook andouille sausage in the melted butter until completely browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towel.
  • Cook and stir onion, celery, and green bell pepper in the butter remaining in the pot until the onion becomes translucent, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir garlic into the onion mixture; cook and stir together for 1 minute.
  • Stir tomato paste through the vegetable mixture; cook and stir another 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Return andouille sausage to the pot along with diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning, and black pepper; stir to combine.
  • Pour chicken broth over the sausage mixture; bring to a boil.
  • Stir rice into the mixture, place a cover on the pot, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook undisturbed until the rice is tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Add shrimp and cod to the rice mixture. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until the mixture comes to a boil; reduce heat again to medium-low and cook uncovered another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Season with salt and fold parsley into the jambalaya to serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh seafood, flavorful sausage, and aromatic vegetables will make a big difference in the taste of your jambalaya.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many ingredients to the pot, they won't cook evenly and the jambalaya will be soupy.
  • Cook the rice until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it: Overcooked rice will make the jambalaya mushy.
  • Season the jambalaya to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste until you reach the desired flavor.
  • Garnish the jambalaya with fresh herbs and vegetables: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Crab and andouille jambalaya is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover seafood and sausage, and it can be easily customized to suit your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy or mild, with or without okra, crab and andouille jambalaya is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
