Jambalaya

[Vindii]

Shrimp, Chicken, and Andouille Jambalaya from John Besh’s book that I won on another forum. My first time making it. I think I got pretty close as it as it was damn good. I cut the recipe in half and it still made a ton. I’ll have a full crock pot to take to work tomorrow for lunch. I smoked the chicken thighs in the keg but did the rest in a big cast iron dutch oven on the stove.

Most of the players. Bacon and sausage were already going.





Done



Awesome stuff.





Here's the same recipe from the book.

Nothing like a Jambalaya, nice post!

And then the question of which hot sauce to put on the table. Louisiana and Crystal are my favorites for Jambalaya.
