Any tips for making Zatarain's Jambalaya?

I omit the shrimp, top each serving with a combo of shredded Colby and Monterrey jack cheese and a spoon of sour cream.

I usually use smoked sausage and add black beans. I usually always add extra beans to the Zatarains mixes just to stretch them more.

Sure, try a little Cayenne pepper. And I mean a little, pinch or so, When you cook a Jambayla the first thing to do is brown your meat (no shrimp) first, remove from pot, brown onions, bell peppers, garlic, using Olive oil. Medium heat and stir alot. Cajuns stir alot. Dont; know why, but we do. Oh yeah, that's when you make a roux. Now, after all of that preparation, remember don't overcook the rice. Just enough water to keep it moist, not spongy. Never shrimp, only in gumbo's and stews.Chicken, yes.

add diced green and red bell pepper, garlic, a bay leaf if you have it, and some cayenne pepper.

saute your onions, celery, bell pepper and garlic in butter for about 2 minutes. Throw your meats in there and stir then add to the zatarains. This will ensure all the flavor of the vegetables permeate the dish.

Seems a very delectable dish, I'll try this myself at home later.

I sometimes put a frozen mixed veggie in there. but what you have sounds ok.sautee the onions and celery before adding.

It has your meat , rice and vegetables all in one pan ….

6 chicken thighs 1 bell pepper
1pkg. sausage 1 c. rice
3 celery stalks 1 c. water
1 lg. onion 1 sm. beer

In a small amount of oil , brown chicken thighs , then remove and cook sausage , remove meat .. Add the onions , celery and bell pepper , saute . After vegetables are sauted , add the meat , rice , water and beer , mix together . Put the lid on , simmer untill rice is done …

good luck

thanks for the tips goodtimes4

I love Zatarain's Jambalaya. I used smoked sausage. I baked the sausage first while I am cooking the jambalaya. I add them together while simmering until done.

I love some of the ideas, we have cajun food once a week and I will definitly use some of the tips on this blog.

Although I love cooking from scratch, I must admit the Zatarain's jambalaya mix is not bad! Sausage, green and red peppers, and onions are my staple add ins, and sometimes a bit of smokey chipotle pepper. I like the above commentors suggestion of adding beer, I'll try that next time!
