Spicy Jambalaya Recipe
This recipe hit the spot for some southern-inspired cooking. Sausage, shrimp, and sweet red pepper combined with flavored rice is definitely something to rave about. I enjoy eating jambalaya, but I enjoy it even more so when there is a kick of spice to it and extra sausage. The addition of chili powder to this meal will have you wanting to make this more often than before!
Ingredients
- 1 box jambalaya rice
- 1 package sausage, chopped small
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped finely
- red chili powder
- 10 raw jumbo shrimp
- cajun seasoning
- oil
- chopped hot chili peppers (optional as a topping)
Directions
- Rice
- Make the jambalaya rice according to the boxed instructions. Feel free to use an Instant Pot if it is convenient.
- Sausage + Pepper Mix
- Cut sausage link into small pieces
- Saute sausage and bell pepper with some oil on medium heat. Once golden brown remove content into a bowl and use the same pan to make shrimp. (You can use a different pan if you choose to. I just use the same one to save time.)
- Shrimp
- Saute the shrimp with oil and cajun seasoning. Check your seasoning to see if salt is included.
