CHEF JOHN'S SAUSAGE & SHRIMP JAMBALAYA



Chef John's Sausage & Shrimp Jambalaya image

While true jambalaya is really more of a thicker rice stew than a soup, it's one of those dishes that more stock can be added to easily make it into a soup recipe. Serve garnished with green onion.

QUICK SAUSAGE AND SHRIMP JAMBALAYA



Quick Sausage and Shrimp Jambalaya image

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.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon canola oil
6 ounces andouille sausage, halved lengthwise and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
1 medium onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, diced
3 celery stalks, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 teaspoons paprika
8 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 cup long-grain white rice

Tips:

  • Mise en place: To ensure a smooth cooking process, prepare all your ingredients and have them ready before you start cooking.
  • Use flavorful sausage: Andouille or kielbasa sausage adds a smoky and spicy kick to the jambalaya. Choose a variety that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Cook the sausage and shrimp separately: This helps prevent the shrimp from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Use a good quality stock: A flavorful stock or broth will enhance the taste of the jambalaya. You can use chicken, seafood, or vegetable stock, depending on your preference.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you're using a small pot, cook the jambalaya in batches. Overcrowding the pot will prevent the rice from cooking evenly.
  • Simmer the jambalaya for at least 15 minutes: This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the jambalaya with your favorite toppings: Popular options include green onions, chopped parsley, and hot sauce.

Conclusion:

This quick and easy sausage and shrimp jambalaya is a delicious and versatile dish that can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bold flavors and vibrant colors, it's a surefire hit at any gathering. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try!
