We adapted this recipe from Real Simple.
We were just astounded at how good this dish was! I think the Cajun sausage made everything else taste fantastic!
Shrimp & Sausage Jambalaya - for 4
1. Prepare the meat:
(1) Rinse 1/2 pound of medium shrimp
(2) Chop up 1/2 - 1 pound of Cajun sausage (We bought the kind that was precooked, so we didn't have to cook it too long.)
2. Prepare vegetables:
(1) Dice 1 large onion
(2) Dice 1 red pepper and 1 orange pepper (My daughter wanted to use these instead of the green pepper--your preference!)
(3) Dice 2 stalks of celery
(4) Mince 4 cloves of garlic
(5) Chop 1/2 cup of parsley
3. Prepare jambalaya:
(1) Put 2 T of coconut oil into a Dutch oven and heat it up on high, then add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes.
(2) Remove shrimp and put in a covered bowl.
(3) Then add the sausage and cook for 3-5 minutes.
(4) Now reduce the heat to medium and add garlic, celery, bell peppers, and onion Cook until tender about 5 more minutes.
(5) Then stir in 1 cup of long-grain rice, 1 14.5 oz diced tomatoes (some people omit this), 2 cups of chicken broth, 1 t salt, 1/4 t cayenne pepper, 1 bay leaf, and half of the parsley.
(6) Reduce the heat to low, covered and simmer for 20 minutes until liquid is almost absorbed. Note: We liked having a little bit of liquid left in our bowls.
(7) Stir in the shrimp and the remainder of the parsley.
(8) Cover it again, and cook about 3-5 minutes more.
