CHEF JOHN'S SAUSAGE & SHRIMP JAMBALAYA



Chef John's Sausage & Shrimp Jambalaya image

While true jambalaya is really more of a thicker rice stew than a soup, it's one of those dishes that more stock can be added to easily make it into a soup recipe. Serve garnished with green onion.

SHRIMP, SAUSAGE, AND FISH JAMBALAYA



Shrimp, Sausage, and Fish Jambalaya image

Did a lot of research on jambalaya and reviewed a number of recipes and came up with the following. I like white fish and, while not traditional, added chunks of cod fillet to this dish. You want to add the shrimp and fish to the dish with about 10 minutes to go so it does not overcook. Cook uncovered if it is soupy and covered if it is not during these last 10 minutes. Finally, try to find andouille sausage if possible. It makes all the difference.

¼ cup butter
10 ounces andouille sausage, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch half-moons
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced green bell pepper
1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (such as Lea & Perrins®)
1 ½ teaspoons Cajun seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's), or to taste

  • Cook and stir onion, celery, and green bell pepper in the butter remaining in the pot until the onion becomes translucent, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir garlic into the onion mixture; cook and stir together for 1 minute.

  • Return andouille sausage to the pot along with diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning, and black pepper; stir to combine.

Seafood jambalaya is a traditional Cajun dish that is enjoyed by many people around the world. However, not everyone is a fan of seafood, whether it’s due to dietary restrictions, personal preferences, or allergies. For those who fall into this category, there are delicious anti-seafood jambalaya recipes that provide all the flavor and texture of traditional jambalaya without any seafood ingredients.

What is jambalaya?

Jambalaya is a popular Cajun dish that is similar to paella. It’s typically made with rice, vegetables, spices, and either seafood, chicken, or sausage. The dish originated in Louisiana and has since spread across the US and beyond. It’s a great meal for feeding a crowd or meal prepping for the week ahead.

What are anti-seafood jambalaya recipes?

Anti-seafood jambalaya recipes are adaptations of traditional jambalaya dishes that exclude any seafood ingredients. These dishes typically use chicken, turkey, sausage, or plant-based protein sources like tofu or tempeh instead of shrimp, crab, or fish. However, the cooking method and spices used in these dishes still provide the same bold and complex flavors as traditional jambalaya.

Ingredients used in anti-seafood jambalaya recipes

The key ingredients in an anti-seafood jambalaya dish are rice, spices, vegetables, and protein. While traditional jambalaya uses seafood like shrimp and crab as the main protein source, the anti-seafood version typically uses chicken, turkey, andouille sausage or plant-based protein sources. Vegetables like bell peppers, onions, celery, and tomatoes are also used in abundance to add flavor and nutrition to the dish. Spices like cayenne pepper, paprika, thyme, and garlic are used to give the dish its signature heat and depth of flavor.

How to make an anti-seafood jambalaya

These dishes are just as flavorful as traditional jambalaya and can be customized to fit your dietary needs and preferences. Try making an anti-seafood jambalaya at home and enjoy the bold flavors of this Cajun classic!
Jambalaya is a classic dish that originates from Louisiana, USA. It's a one-pot dish that typically consists of rice, vegetables, meat, and seafood. However, some people may not like seafood or may have allergies or dietary restrictions that prevent them from consuming it. In this case, an anti-seafood jambalaya recipe can be a great alternative. Here are some valuable tips to consider when making such a recipe.

1. Choose Meat Wisely

Since seafood is being eliminated from the original jambalaya recipe, a conscious decision must be made regarding the type of meat that will be used. Meat is an important component of jambalaya as it provides flavor and texture. Some popular meats to include in jambalaya are chicken, sausage, and pork. These meats go well with the other ingredients used in jambalaya and are easily accessible in most grocery stores. However, it's important to keep in mind the dietary requirements of those who will be consuming the dish. For instance, if someone is on a low-fat diet, then chicken or turkey can be a great option. On the other hand, people can opt for lamb, beef, or chorizo to add depth and richness to the dish.

2. Incorporate Aromatics

Aromatics are ingredients that provide a distinct aroma and flavor to a dish. They can range from herbs such as thyme and oregano, to spices such as paprika and cumin. When making an anti-seafood jambalaya recipe, it's important to incorporate aromatics that will elevate the dish's flavor profile. This includes ingredients such as onion, garlic, celery, and bell peppers. These aromatics bring out the savory and aromatic flavors of the meat and rice, making the dish much more flavorful and aromatic.

3. Choose Rice Carefully

In a traditional jambalaya recipe, long-grain rice is usually the choice of rice because it doesn't clump together and allows the flavors of the other ingredients to shine. However, when making an anti-seafood jambalaya recipe, it's important to consider the type of rice that would work best. For instance, brown rice or wild rice could be used instead of long-grain rice. These grains have more depth in terms of flavor and will add a nutty aroma to the dish. Similarly, replacing long-grain rice with cauliflower rice can be a great option for those who are on a low-carb diet. When using cauliflower rice, it's important to sauté it first to remove excess moisture and ensure it doesn't end up being soggy or mushy.

4. Experiment with Flavors

When making an anti-seafood jambalaya recipe, experimenting with different flavors can be a great way to mix things up. Whether it's using different herbs, spices or seasonings, there are many ways to elevate the dish's taste. For instance, using Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, or chipotle powder can add a smoky, spicy flavor to the jambalaya. Similarly, adding Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce can enhance the dish's tangy and savory flavor. Just remember to be mindful of the type and amount of spices and seasonings used so as not to overpower the dish.

5. Don't Overcook the Meat

One of the biggest mistakes people make when making jambalaya is overcooking the meat. Since there are multiple layers of flavors in jambalaya, overcooking the meat can lead to it becoming dry and tough. To ensure that the meat is tender and juicy, it's important to cook it for the right amount of time. For instance, if chicken is used, it should be cooked until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Pork and sausage, on the other hand, should be cooked until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). It's also important to let the meat rest for five to ten minutes before cutting it so that the juices can settle and redistribute.

6. Cook Everything in One Pot

One of the best things about jambalaya is that it can be cooked in one pot, which makes for easy prep and cleanup. When making an anti-seafood jambalaya recipe, everything should be cooked in one pot. This allows the flavors of the ingredients to meld together, resulting in a delicious and flavorful dish. However, it's important to add the ingredients in stages, starting with the meat and aromatics, followed by the rice and vegetables. This helps to ensure that each component is cooked to perfection.

7. Serve with the Right Accompaniments

The right accompaniments can elevate a dish and make it even more enjoyable. When serving an anti-seafood jambalaya recipe, it's important to consider the accompaniments that would work well. Some popular options include cornbread, biscuits, or crusty bread. The bread can be used to scoop up the delicious jambalaya, and the sweetness of the cornbread or biscuits can help to balance out the savory flavors of the dish. Additionally, serving jambalaya with a side salad or coleslaw can provide a refreshing contrast to the dish's rich flavors.
Conclusion
In conclusion, making an anti-seafood jambalaya recipe is a great way to enjoy this classic dish without compromising dietary restrictions or personal preferences. By choosing meat wisely, incorporating aromatics, selecting the right rice, experimenting with flavors, avoiding overcooking the meat, cooking everything in one pot, and serving with the right accompaniments, anyone can create a delicious and flavorful jambalaya that everyone will enjoy.
