My Twist to Cajun Jambalaya

I've never cooked Jambalaya before and found an amazing recipe to experiment with - Cajun Jambalaya. The flavors were rich and I definitely recommend it if you like spicy food with a lot of flavor. The New Orleans andouille sausage really gives it that added flavor along with the Cajun spices. 

 

I followed most of the original recipe but also made several changes. I used regular vegetable oil and minute rice because lazy that's what I had in the pantry. I also added some shrimp and left out the file powder because I have no idea what that is. Other things I left out were salt, celery and the chicken broth (which was needed to cook regular rice).  These are the ingredients I used.

Ingredients:

28 oz. crushed tomatoes

2 tbsp. vegetable oil

1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning

1/2 teaspoon hot sauce

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 pack New Orleans andouille sausage, cooked

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

2 cups cooked shrimp

4 cups cooked rice

3 cloves garlic, whole

1 green bell pepper

1 onion

So happy I experimented with this delish recipe so I can now make my own jambalaya instead of driving all of over town looking for a Cajun restaurant. 

Enjoy!
