This mildly spicy dinner recipe is a nice diversion from chicken or pasta. I love how easy it is to make- all in one pot and not dirtying up a ton of dishes to prepare. Shrimp Jambalaya is a good dinner-for-two kind of recipe because the next-day leftovers are awesome!
How to make Shrimp Jambalaya:
Sliced kielbasa, onion and bell pepper are sautéed in olive oil until tender. Then rice, salt and spices are added in. Water, chicken broth and canned tomatoes are added in next. Cover the skillet and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the rice is cooked. The final step is stirring in the shrimp and hot sauce. Cover and cook an additional 5 minutes. This is the time needed for the shrimp to cook. That’s it!
Jambalaya has French and Spanish roots. It’s a dish that originates from the French quarter of New Orleans. This version is more of a Creole (red) style of jambalaya with the addition of tomato.
