Nothing says lovin like some spicy Louisiana cooking. I absolutely LOVE making this when I have the time. I'm toning down the amount of creole seasoning that I use, because I tend to be a little heavy handed with it. The amount is an approximate - season to your taste.

Mound jambalaya in the center of your bowl. Sprinkle with chives. JAMBALAYA BASE: Sauté smoked and Andouille sausage in olive oil until heated. Remove sausages while leaving oil behind. Add onions, celery, and green peppers to tilt skillet and sauté until tender. Add garlic, chicken base, and vegetable base. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in all dry spices. Add flour to thicken.

  • Don't skimp on the spices: Jambalaya is a flavorful dish, so don't be afraid to use plenty of spices. A good Cajun seasoning blend is a must, and you can also add your own favorite spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
  • Cook the rice in the broth: This will help the rice absorb all of the delicious flavors from the broth. You can use any type of rice you like, but long-grain rice is a good choice for jambalaya.
  • Don't overcook the seafood: Shrimp and crawfish cook very quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Otherwise, they will become tough and rubbery.
