Ingredients
- 1 box Zatarain’s Jambalaya Mix
- 1 pound of smoked sausage, sliced (andouille works best if you’re feelin’ spicy)
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined (add more if you’re feeling fancy)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped (red or green, it’s your choice)
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups of water or chicken broth
- Optional: hot sauce for that extra kick
Cooking Instructions
1. Start by heating up a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the sliced smoked sausage and let it brown for about 5-7 minutes. That savory aroma is gonna hit ya right in the feels!
2. Next, add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the pot. Cook ’em up until they’re soft, about another 5 minutes. Homegirl or homeboy, you’re gonna love the colors coming together!
3. Pour in the Zatarain’s Jambalaya Mix and the water (or broth) into the pot, stirring it all together. Bring it to a boil and then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
4. After about 20 minutes, stir in the shrimp. Cover and let it cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Don’t forget to check that rice is tender; it should soak up all those delicious flavors!
5. If you’re feeling daring, add a few dashes of hot sauce for that extra flair. Taste it to see if it needs anything, maybe a little salt or pepper? You know your flavor preferences best!
6. Serve it up hot in a big bowl and enjoy this scrumptious meal with some friends or family. You can even pair it with a side of cornbread or a simple green salad! We ain’t skimpin’ on flavor here, folks!
Now sit back, relax, and let the Jambalaya take you away to a world full of flavor and good times!
