Ingredients: 2 packages of Jambalaya rice with seasonings included (I like Earth Grains from Aldi) 2 cans of Cajun potatoes, undrained (I llike Del Monte), or add Cajun seasonong or jambalaya seasoning to plain canned potatoes) 1 can diced tomatoes, drained 1 onion, chopped 1 green pepper, chopped 1 red pepper, chopped 5 cups of water (or the amount of the water listed on the instructions on the jambalaya rice package) 2 pounds frozen raw shrimp (peel to eat or already peeled), thawed 2 pounds smoked sausage (sliced) 1 can of corn, drained 1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained 4 Tbsp vegetable oil 3 Tbsp butter 2 tsp brown sugar, packed 2 tsp turmeric 3/4 tsp ground ginger 1/2 tsp dried rosemary leaves 1/4 tsp ground cumin (or seeds) 1/2 tsp kosher salt 6 shakes of cayenne pepper 1/4 tsp garlic powder, scant 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon 1 lemon (zest of one lemon, then wedges to squirt lemon juice over dish as desired) Directions: Add all cut up fresh veggies to the water in a large pot. Add oil. Add rice packages with included seasonings to water. Add cans of potatoes, tomatoes, and corn to water. Cook/simmer according to the package instructions, until water is absorbed, stirring occasionally (about 30 minutes). Turn heat down if rice starts to stick to the bottom of the pan. Steam asparagus tops (if including in the meal). Combine all seasonings and stir well. Add butter to a large stir fry pan or large frying pan. Turn on heat to medium low and melt butter. Add shrimp and sausage to the hot pan with melted butter. Sprinkle seasoning mixture over meat, stir to coat and cook until shrimp turn pink. Heat black beans (keep separate or add to rice mxiture as desired). Serve in a split table hybrid recipe way by keeping the meat and the vegetable rice mixture separate. Build bowls with rice and vegetable mixture only for vegetarian portions, add meat for meat portions. Add butter and salt to aspargus tips, if desired. Warm bread to serve with butter. Books!
