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.

QUICK SAUSAGE AND SHRIMP JAMBALAYA



Quick Sausage and Shrimp Jambalaya image

Like most creole dishes, this jambalaya contains the "holy trinity"-onion, celery and bell pepper. The andouille sausage and creole seasoning add a distinct Louisiana flavor. The rice for jambalaya is traditionally cooked in with the other ingredients, but in this quick version I use pre-cooked rice, making this dish perfect if you've got leftover rice to use up.

JON'S EASY SHRIMP JAMBALAYA



JON'S EASY SHRIMP JAMBALAYA image

Categories     Pork     Shellfish     Low Fat

Yield [should serve 8 or more - but depends on appetite

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients
2-3 14oz. cans chicken broth[I prefer Health Valley low fat - great flavor and 6gm protein per
serving]
2 16oz can/jar medium salsa[or hot, depending on taste]
1 medium onion
2 celery stalks optional
2# shrimp 31-40 count fresh/frozen unpeeled [adds more flavor than pre cooked]
1# Andouille Sausage [I use Aidells - the sausage is made from chunks of meat instead
of ground, which provides a more complex texture]
12-16oz long grain/wild rice
2-4 tbsp Olive Oil
optionals: cayenne pepper, Worchestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce

Steps:

  • Put shrimp into warm water to thaw Dump chicken broth and salsa into crock pot, high heat Cut Andouille sausage in half lengthwise, then slice in 1/4 inch pieces so shrimp & sausage about the same size Chop onion and celery In skillet, medium high heat, add olive oil, brown Andouille sausage, then dump into crock pot, saving oil Lightly saute onion and celery, then dump into crock pot. Turn crock pot to low, will take about 2 hours to be simmering throughout. In the meantime peel shrimp, divide in half, and dump into crock pot once pot has been simmering as above; let simmer for additional 15 minutes RICE You can add rice directly to crock pot - makes thicker jambalaya, may need to add additional chicken broth. I prefer the following: When shrimp have turned white, take 2 cups of broth from crock pot, put in pot on stove, add can of chicken broth, and add rice. Heat at medium until simmering, then turn down, cover, and simmer for about 3/4 hour or until done.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven: This will help to evenly distribute heat and prevent the jambalaya from scorching.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much shrimp or other ingredients, the jambalaya will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp in batches: This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcooking.
  • Add the vegetables in stages: This will help to ensure that they are all cooked evenly.
  • Use a good quality Cajun seasoning: This will give the jambalaya its signature flavor.
  • Don't skip the roux: The roux is what thickens the jambalaya and gives it its rich color.
  • Let the jambalaya rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Jon's Easy Shrimp Jambalaya is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and can be tailored to your own personal taste. Whether you like your jambalaya spicy or mild, with or without okra, this recipe is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Jon's Easy Shrimp Jambalaya a try!
