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.

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.

Tips:
- Prep ahead: To save time during cooking, chop the vegetables and pre-cook the rice ahead of time.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't limit yourself to the vegetables listed in the recipe. Feel free to add any vegetables you like, such as bell peppers, corn, or okra.
- Don't skimp on the spices: Jambalaya is a flavorful dish, so don't be afraid to add plenty of spices. The Creole seasoning and cayenne pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices, such as paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth is an important part of the jambalaya, so use a flavorful one. Chicken or vegetable broth are both good options.
- Cook the jambalaya over medium heat: This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
- Let the jambalaya rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
Jambalaya is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice and vegetables. With its bold flavors and hearty ingredients, jambalaya is a surefire hit with the whole family.
