Yield 4 portions

Number Of Ingredients 21

Seasoning mix:
2 whole bay leaves
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. white pepper
1 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. rubbed sage
Jambalaya prep:
2 tbsp. butter
1 lb. peeled deveiened shrimp (u26-30) tail removed
3/4 lb. andouille sausage,
cut into bite size pieces
1 lb. chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces.
1 c. diced onions
1 c. diced celery
1 c. diced green bell peppers
1 tbsp. minced garlic
12 oz. canned diced tomatoes in sauce
2 1/2 c. chicken stock
1 1/2 cups (converted) uncooked rice

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients for the seasoning mix in a small bowl and set aside. Preheat oven to 350f. Melt the butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the andouille sausage and cook until meat starts to brown, about 3 mins. Add the chicken and cook until the chicken turns brown, about 3-5 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until orange, about 4 minutes. Stir frequently. Stir in the seasoning mix and 1/2 of each onion, celery, bell peppers, and garlic. Cook until vegetables become tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and sauce and cook about 1 minute. Stir in remaining vegatables, and remove from heat. Stir in the chicken stock and rice, and mix well. Transfer mixture to an ungreased baking pan and bake uncovered at 350f for about 1 hour or until all liquid has evaporated. Stir periodically.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your jambalaya taste its best. Look for succulent shrimp, spicy andouille sausage, and plump vegetables.
  • Don't crowd the pan. When browning the shrimp and sausage, do it in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help the ingredients cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Sauté the vegetables until they're tender. This will help bring out their flavor and make them more enjoyable to eat.
  • Use a good quality stock. The stock you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your jambalaya. Use a flavorful stock, such as chicken or seafood stock.
  • Season the jambalaya to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. Be careful not to overseason, as you can always add more seasoning later.
  • Let the jambalaya rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the rice to absorb the liquid.
