We made a batch of this last night, it was delicious and a big hit with the family. Was a little on the salty side but that’s easily adjusted next time. Definitely keeping this recipe. Thank you for sharing. The layers of flavors are incredible.

Howdy fellas and non fellas and people who think they are trees, animals, walls and lamps! Sitting around today watching college bowl games. Jambalaya was on the menu. Y'all are gonna want to give this a try as it's a flavor bomb. I'll start out with ingredients.......

1.5lb chicken breast
12oz Andouille sausage
1lb raw, pealed and deveined shrimp
14oz can crushed tomatoes
1.5c long grain white rice
3c chicken broth
1.5T slap ya mama plus .5T reserved
1t dried thyme
1t dried oregano
1/2t black pepper
1/2t crushed red pepper
1t filé powder
2t Wooster sauce
2-4 dashes Louisiana hot sauce
4 cloves minced garlic
1 large sweet onion
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
2 celery stalks

Dice up the bells, onion and celery (Cajun trinity)

Slice sausage into rounds, cut chicken into small cubes and peal and devein shrimp.

Get your pot heated up and add some olive oil and brown the sausage View attachment 653028
Once browned remove with slotted spoon. This is a flavor building meal so leave the drippings in the pot. Add more olive oil and throw in the chicken to brown. Add the half tablespoon of slap your mama that you reserved View attachment 653029
Once browned remove chicken and add the Cajun trinity and the minced garlic. Let it go until soft View attachment 653030
When soft add the crushed tomatoes, the rest of spices, Wooster, hot sauce and the sausage and chicken back in the pot. Let it cook for a few minutes to let the flavors come together View attachment 653031
After 10-15 min add the rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil then cover and reduce heat to a simmer View attachment 653032
Let it go for around 30min stirring every few minutes or so until the rice begins to soak up the goodness. You may need to add more broth if it gets too thick. When rice is tender. Maybe 45min in add the raw shrimp and stir in and cover. Let it cook for 10min or until the shrimp is pink. Put it in a bowl, garnish with parsley and green onions, add some crusty bread and get ready for your tongue to slap you in the face! View attachment 653034
This stuff is delicious and there wasn't a drop left.

Hope everyone has a wonderful new year!

Tomatoes in jambalaya are a big no no for me. But I’d eat it.

Try a pastalaya next time. Really good too!

Glad you liked it bud and I agree salt is easy to adjust to your liking.

That's why I labeled this creole. Creole jambalaya has tomatoes. Cajun does not. We prefer the red

 

[chilerelleno]

Hell Yeah!
That'll ring in the New Year.

 

[TNJAKE]

Hell Yeah!

Appreciate it bud it was a tasty way to ring in the new year

Well, this jambalaya is on the menu for tomorrow but I messed up and won't have any chicken. I thought I had some breast meat, so I smoked the thighs I had. That's are terrific. Problem is, I now can't find the chicken I thought I had.

Ray when it comes to the proteins you can change whatever. If you don't have chicken just leave it out. Let me know if you have any questions tomorrow

Here is my version with a couple of issues. First I didn't have chicken and wanted it. Second, the sausage got away from me and was a little more crisp than I wanted, and third I couldn't cook the rice in because wife wants it on her roasted cauliflower. Other than that it was totally awesome.

Picture doesn't show the shrimp, but it has nice #13 shrimp. And I probably made it too hot for the wife.

It was a many beers during cook, and more beers eating kindle of meal, my kind.
