Jambalaya

It's my 4 year blog anniversary!  What better way to celebrate than with some jambalaya?

Don't be intimidated by the lengthy list of ingredients.  This is originally a Rachel Ray 30 minute meal recipe.  I made some tweeks to the ingredient list based on what I had on hand.  Although I can't say I was able to put this together in a mere 30 minutes, it was very simple and took less than an hour to prepare.

3/4 lb sausage
1 medium onion, chopped
3 ribs of celery
1 chipotle pepper diced, or a few dashes of hot sauce
2 tbps flour
14oz diced tomatoes
1 cup chicken broth
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1/2 lb shrimp
chopped cilantro, for garnish

1. Cook rice according to package directions.
2. In a large pan coated with oil brown chicken and sausage, 5-10 minutes.  Add onion, celery, chipotle pepper.
3. Saute for 5 minutes, sprinkle flour and cook for 1-2 minutes more.  Stir in tomatoes, broth, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, and Cajun seasoning.
4. Bring liquid to a boil and add shrimp.  Cook until shrimp is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
5. Scoop jambalaya into bowls, top with rice and cilantro.


It's all made in one large skillet, with exception of the rice of course.
