Jambalaya with Chicken, Sausage, and Shrimp
This spicy Jambalaya with Chicken, Sausage, and Shrimp is a great comfort food all year round, but is delightful if you’re celebrating Mardi Gras! Chock full of meat, rice, lots of spices, veggies and a kick of Tabasco, this dish is like a party in your mouth! My 18-month old scarfs it down; she is always asking for “more Jambie-lee-a-lee”. It’s a fun meal to serve your family on any night of the week or you can dress it up for a Mardi Gras party. You can control the spices too, so whether you have real heat lovers or kiddos who need a milder version, read on for all the options with this delightful Cajun dish!
So Many Options for this Recipe
Feel free to use all of the meats (chicken, pork, and shrimp).. or just one or two of them depending on your taste. I love adding a good amount of Tabasco at the end to spice things up a bit but if Tabasco is a bit much for you, just leave it out. I like to add several colors of peppers into my Jambalaya dish since the red, yellow, orange and green colors of those peppers make it seem much more festive.If the rice seems too dry when you’re done cooking or if it seems too pasty, just add a bit more chicken broth.
