Jambalaya is another one of the most delicious recipes of South Louisiana. My family is fondest of Shrimp Jambalaya but I also make it with chicken and sausage. I have heard that some people make it with Ground Beef. I guess it would be good too, but I haven't tried it. Anytime I plan to make Jambalaya, I always cook a large pot of white beans to go along with it, they just go so good together.

Ingredients

2 pounds small shrimp, peeled and deviened
6 medium onions, peeled and chopped
5 large celery stalks, chopped
2 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 cup chopped green onion with tops
1 can rotel
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
5 cups seafood stock, homemade or purchased

How To Make shrimp jambalaya

Step 1

In a large heavy dutch oven (I like to use a black Iron pot), heat 1/4 cup oil, add onions and cook until onions are beginning to caramalize. Add clery and continue cooking until dark brown. Add 1 cup of the seafood stock and cover pot tightly. Cook on a medium high fire for a few minutes. You may add a little water if needed to melt all of the onions and celery down to form a rich sauce for the jambalaya.

Step 2

After the onions and celery have melted down, add chopped bell peppers and stir. Stir in the salt, pepper, garlic powder and Rotel.
Step 3

Stir in Rice and then the shrimp, green onions and parsley. add the remaining seafood stock, give a good stir. When the mixture comes to a boil, cover pot tightly, lower fire as much as possible and cook about 25 minutes or until rice is cooked through.
