Categories     Entree

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups uncooked regular long-grain white rice
3 cups water
1 lb uncooked deveined peeled large shrimp, thawed if frozen, tail shells removed
1 lb sea scallops, thawed if frozen
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with garlic and onions, undrained
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped (1 cup)
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
3 to 4 teaspoons Cajun seasoning

Steps:

  • Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 6 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Cook rice in water as directed on package. In large bowl, mix cooked rice and remaining ingredients. Place 1/6 of mixture (dividing shrimp and scallops evenly) on center of each sheet.
  • Bring up 2 sides of foil over shrimp mixture so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
  • Place packets on grill over low heat. Cover grill; cook 12 to 15 minutes, rotating packets 1/2 turn after 6 minutes, until shrimp are pink.
  • To serve, cut large X across top of each packet; carefully fold back foil to allow steam to escape.

This jambalaya is a great meal to prep ahead of time. I made it the night before and then just reheated it for dinner.

I'm allergic to shrimp, so I used chicken instead. It was still really good.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I used mild salsa instead of hot salsa. It was still delicious!

This jambalaya is a great way to use up leftover seafood. I had some shrimp and scallops in my freezer and they worked perfectly in this recipe.
