Jambalaya is a hearty New Orleans dish that’s very colorful and versatile. You can make it with beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, crayfish, sausage, or any combination of the above!My version uses ham, sausage, and shrimp. You can make jambalaya as spicy as you wish. It can be served by itself, but also goes nicely with a side of cornbread.This recipe is modified from “The Essential Rice Cookbook.”#GlobalApron Week 22 - Ham#Cajun #Dinner #Seafood #Meat #Spicy

Simple, quick and delish!

I discovered this recipe on Facebook. I made a few of my own edits, and it quickly became a family favorite.

Save the airfare to New Orleans and make this Creole dish at home. Added bonus - you can make everything in one pot, so you save on the dishes too!

Quick and easy jambalaya from Mom's cookbook

This recipe is taken with liberties from Paul Prudhomme. If you don't plan on laboring with shrimp shells to make a seafood stock, there are several seafood concentrate pastes on the market. I use the one from penzeys. Make sure you follow the directions for reconstitution exactly. I've found from experience that using double strength stock makes an unpalatably salty and fishy jambalaya. Of course you can also just use chicken stock if you can't find seafood.

very easy, quick dinner, doubles easily :beer goes well.
