QUICK SAUSAGE AND SHRIMP JAMBALAYA
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.

CHEF JOHN'S SAUSAGE & SHRIMP JAMBALAYA
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.

SHRIMP AND SAUSAGE JAMBALAYA
This is a recipe I developed by combining a few together, and it is one of my husband's favorite things that I make. If I am eating this, I cook the sausage on the side. At the end, I pull out a portion of jambalaya for myself and add the sausage to the rest for everyone else. Keep an eye on it after you add the rice. The jambalaya recipes I've used in the past don't add water, but I usually have to add some so the rice has enough liquid to absorb.

QUICK JAMBALAYA
This recipe makes quick work out of jambalaya by using leftover rice, and it tastes great with freshly cooked grains, too. To make this meal meatless, use vegan andouille sausage or stick with pork sausage, if you prefer. Either option, along with creole seasoning and the classic trinity of creole cooking - onion, celery and green bell pepper - result in a dish that is unmistakably Louisianan. Though many jambalaya recipes skip tomatoes, this version uses a blend of tomato paste and diced tomatoes to add bulk, and an acidity that helps lighten up the otherwise hearty one-pot meal.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the sausage and cook until starting to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add the remaining tablespoon oil, then add the celery and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until very fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked rice. Sprinkle with the creole seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Stir in the tomatoes and hot sauce and cook until warmed through. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with the scallions and serve with more hot sauce.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh shrimp and sausage, flavorful broth, and aromatic vegetables will make a world of difference.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp and sausage. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Add the rice to the pot after the shrimp and sausage are cooked. This will help prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
- Season the jambalaya to taste with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder, to taste.
- Let the jambalaya rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the rice to absorb the broth.
Conclusion:
This quick and easy sausage and shrimp jambalaya is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a casual gathering with friends and family. With its bold flavors and hearty ingredients, this jambalaya is sure to be a hit!
