Blue Ribbon Recipe
This chicken, sausage, and shrimp perloo is wonderful! Originating in the Carolina Lowcountry, perloo is similar to jambalaya. The savory chicken and sausage pair well with the fresh and sweet shrimp. Yellow rice absorbs the flavors from the onions, peppers, tomatoes, and seasonings. Packing a punch of flavor and spice, this is a satisfying one-pot meal.

Test Kitchen Tips
As a little time-saver, try placing the pepper(s) in a cheesecloth sack for easy retrieval before serving. If you can't find Datil peppers, use your favorite pepper or substitute with spicy sausage.

Step 1In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken parts and sausage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5-10 minutes. Remove meat from the pot; set aside. -
Step 2Reduce heat to medium. Add onions, garlic, parsley, red bell pepper, tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 15 minutes, or until liquid from the tomatoes thickens. Add bay leaf and datil pepper halves and cook about 5 minutes.
