Prepping the ingredients for the Shrimp Jambalaya

To make this delicious one pot meal, you will need:

• Butter and a neutral oil, such as canola.
• Andouille sausage.
• Tomato paste and crushed tomatoes.
• An onion, a red bell pepper, a carrot, and a of rib celery.
• A bunch of sliced garlic.
• Creole seasoning. I HIGHLY recommend Joe’s Stuff. It is THE BEST!
• A bunch of spices: dried thyme, cayenne, smoked paprika (emphasis on SMOKED). gumbo file seasoning and 2 bay leaves.
• Some white rice.
• A bit of your favorite hot sauce.
• Chicken stock.
• White wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc.
• Last but not least- large or jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined.

Do all of your chopping, dicing and slicing prior to beginning cooking, and this dish is a breeze to make! Everything comes together in one pot!

Slow and low simmering

After you’ve got the initial sautéing and flavors built, you’ll add all the liquids and rice, and cook the dish covered for close to an hour. Once its thick and homogenous and the rice is cooked through- you’ll add the shrimp. Simply stir the shrimp in and cook covered on low for about 3-4 minutes.

Finishing touches and serving

Serve the jambalaya hot, with a good sprinkling of sliced green onions, and a dash of hot sauce!
