SAUSAGE AND SHRIMP JAMBALAYA

Serves 4-6

Remember in Seinfeld when Newman gets his hands on the jambalaya?

1 cup each diced celery, onion and green pepper
1 pound fully-cooked chorizo or andouille sausage, cut crosswise into 1/4" slices
2 large cloves garlic, crushed
1 cup white rice
1 tablespoon creole or Old Bay seasoning
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
3 Roma tomatoes, diced
1 pound raw, peeled & de-veined shrimp
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Heat a large skillet (that has a lid) on medium high, add about a tablespoon of oil and when hot put in celery, onion and green pepper - cook until softened and just until they get some color, about 5 minutes
Add sausage and cook 5 minutes or until it starts to brown
Add garlic and when fragrant, add creole or old bay and stir well to mix through
Add rice, stirring really well and let toast a couple minutes, then add broth, tomatoes and mix well
Bring to a boil, turn down to a simmer, cover and cook 15 minutes
Add shrimp, stir well and cover again - and in about 5 minutes the shrimp should be perfect or until all liquid is absorbed and rice is soft
Add parsley and serve!

Mixed Jambalaya

Simple as pie, or in this case Jambalaya - which normally tends to not be so simple.

1 pound spicy smoked sausage, the fully cooked kind - cut lengthwise and then into 1/4 inch half circles
1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and de-veined (31/40's are perfect)
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded into bite sized pieces
1 1/2 cups uncooked rice (not instant rice)
4 cups chicken broth
One -7 oz can diced green chilies
1-2 tablespoons Creole seasoning
