FINALLYWROTEITDOWN CHICKEN, SAUSAGE AND SHRIMP JAMBALAYA



Finallywroteitdown Chicken, Sausage and Shrimp Jambalaya image

I've been making a kind of freestyle jambalaya for years; as the title says, I've finally written down a basic recipe for my creation. But don't let it end here; jambalaya is a dish that you can truly play around with. You could also add bell pepper at the point where you cook the onions and garlic (part of the holy Cajun trinity but I don't like cooked green pepper so I sacreligiously omit it); or use andouille sausage or add cubed pork or ham to the dish. My only real contingency is that you don't use beef, though... no place for that in jambalaya, IMHO. And as much as I love tomatoes, I do not care for them in my jambalaya, either.

salt

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven, cook the smoked sausage in the olive oil until browned; add the onion and garlic and saute until golden and transparent.
  • Add the uncooked rice and cook, stirring briskly, until just starting to turn golden, then add the chicken broth and Worcestershire Sauce, stirring to combine with the rice-sausage-onion-garlic mixture.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and add the cooked chicken, thyme, oregano, bay leaves, cayenne pepper, white pepper and black pepper.
  • Cook, covered, over low heat for about 30 to 40 minutes; add more liquid if you need to.
  • Then add the shrimp, cover, and cook for another 10 minutes or until shrimp is pink and cooked through.
  • Season to taste with salt and more pepper if you like.

CHEF JOHN'S SAUSAGE & SHRIMP JAMBALAYA



Chef John's Sausage & Shrimp Jambalaya image

While true jambalaya is really more of a thicker rice stew than a soup, it's one of those dishes that more stock can be added to easily make it into a soup recipe. Serve garnished with green onion.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your jambalaya taste its best. Look for plump, juicy shrimp, andouille sausage with a good snap, and fresh vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the ingredients won't cook evenly and the jambalaya will be soupy. Cook the ingredients in batches if necessary.
  • Season the dish well: Jambalaya is a flavorful dish, so don't be afraid to season it well. Use a combination of Creole seasoning, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Let the jambalaya rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the rice to absorb the sauce.
