Crab And Andouille Jamablaya Food

JAMBALAYA RECIPE (CREOLE)

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Season the sausage and chicken pieces with half of the Cajun seasoning.
• Brown sausage in the hot oil; remove with slotted spoon and set aside. Add remaining oil to the pot and sauté chicken until lightly browned. Remove with slotted spoon; set aside.
• Sauté the onion, bell pepper and celery until onion is soft and transparent. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant (30 seconds).
• Stir in the tomatoes; season with salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, red pepper flakes (or Cayenne powder), hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and the remaining Cajun seasoning. Stir in the okra slices (or file powder), chicken and sausage. Cook for 5 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
• Add in the rice and chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low-medium. Cover and let simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and rice is cooked, while stirring occasionally.
• Place the shrimp on top of the Jambalaya mixture, stir through gently and cover with lid. Allow to simmer while stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through and pink (about 5-6 minutes, depending on the size/thickness of the shrimp being used).
• Season with a little extra salt and pepper if needed and remove from heat. Adjust heat with extra hot sauce, Cayenne pepper or Cajun seasoning. Serve immediately with sliced green onions and parsley.

Add the tomato paste and Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are coated, about 1 minute. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until coated, about 1 minute.
• Add the diced tomatoes and 5 cups water to the pot. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until the rice is tender and the sauce thickens, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Stir the beans and chicken into the pot and cook until warmed through, about 1 minute. Top each serving with celery leaves and drizzle with olive oil.

SHRIMP AND ANDOUILLE JAMBALAYA

Steps:

• Heat the canola oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-gauge pot over high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Add the bell pepper, onion, celery, and garlic, and season with cayenne pepper and salt and pepper, to taste. Cook stirring, until well browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, shrimp, oysters, and bay leaves. Add the rice, stir gently; then add the stock. Gently move the spoon across the bottom of the pot, to make sure that the rice is not sticking. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer, covered, until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 8 minutes.
• To serve, transfer to a serving bowl, and mix in the green onions. Season with hot sauce.

PASTA JAMBALAYA WITH CRAWFISH AND ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Fill a large 1-gallon stock pot with a pasta insert three-quarters full with water. Bring to a boil over high heat and add the salt as it boils. Place the angel hair in the salted water and return to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook the pasta until nearly al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• While the pasta is cooking, heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil, sausage and onions and saute, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is lightly caramelized and the onions are translucent. Add the garlic to the pan, and then add the zucchini, bell peppers, tomatoes and thyme. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes. Add the heavy cream to the pan and cook an additional 2 minutes. Add the crawfish and basil. Add the al dente pasta and continue to cook the sauce and pasta, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and add the seafood seasoning and Parmesan.
