The Brainy Gourmet's Louisiana Jambalaya...


Its not just any 'ole' night in Louisiana... when they serve up Jambalaya!

You will need:1 pound of Andouille sausage, or sweet Italian Sausage or even beer Brats. To that, you will need about one pound (depending on number of guests) of jumbo shrimp (thawed/tail removed prior to cooking), onion, cayenne pepper, paprika, wild or brown rice and hot sauce.

To begin, chop one onion and saute in olive oil until browned. Push aside in the skillet and drop the sausage (casing removed) as small bit sizes into the skillet to brown. Next, bring the onion back in over onto the sausage and add your spices: cayenne pepper, garlic powder, paprika, coriander, red pepper flakes, black pepper and salt. Add about 1/4 cup of beef stock, stir and cover to let simmer on low.



 

Prepare to cook the rice. Boil water about 2 and 1/2 cup with a pinch of salt, pour in 1 and 1/2 cup of long grain rice. If you are having more than 4 guests, double this.

When the rice is done, drain and pour out onto a serving plate. Then pour out the sausage and shrimp in sauce (any remaining juices) from the skillet on top of the rice.
