Flip Flip Flip over Emeril's Cajun Jambalaya definitely a flip

Emeril's Cajun Jambalaya is so very yummy, it's the spot, warms you up,

always a hit when I make it!!

 

 

I made just a few very minor changes

 

in Emeril's Creole Seasoning
I use smoked paprika
omg that little bit of smokiness
with the heat is soooo good.
"BAM"  Emeril would be proud
at least that's what I like to think 

Double the creole seasoning it is also

awesome rubbed on chicken or fish then grilled!!

 

 

When chopping vegetables measuring is always rounded up

I just can't stop halfway through a celery stalk to make 1/2 cup ;0)

 

 

toss the chicken and shrimp with the creole seasoning set aside

 

 

 

sauté the onion, pepper, celery over medium heat 3 minutes, don't brown

 

add the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, tomatoes,

 

if I had any cherry tomatoes left in the freezer I would toss them in

I don't

so I'm using a pantry staple diced tomatoes

cook a meat or cook a vegetable

add diced tomatoes everyone thinks your a good cook

I love diced tomatoes

 

keeping the heat at medium stir in the rice

 

then slowly stir in the broth - ok I just dump it in

simmer about 15 minutes the rice should be tender

it will still have a bit of broth

 

now you add the chicken, shrimp, and Andouille sausage

simmer until the chicken and shrimp are cooked and the rice is done

 

 

It will still have a little broth the rice soaks it right up

Serve to the hungry group patiently waiting

 

I double the recipe and believe it only serves 6. 

 Emeril's Cajun Jambalaya that serves 4  makes so little he must be feeding people

 that don't have hearty appetites,

I've served a lot of Jambalaya to a lot of people.

Freezes great, pack any leftovers into lunch size containers, then freeze!
