Easy Jambalaya Recipe with Shrimp and Andouille Sausage
When I look back throughout my culinary career I always seem to make things in 10 year increments. It's like I hear about it, I make it, and then for some reason I don't make it again for another 10 years, and the same goes with this easy jambalaya recipe.
I first learned how to make jambalaya when I was working at a country club from a southern chef. I don't exactly remember how I did it but I remember it being packed with chicken, sausage and shrimp and it being absolutely delicious. It was like the cajun's version of risotto with in your face flavor. Ever since then I've loved jambalaya but as I stated before I've seriously only made it 3 times in my life.
