I sautéed the onions and green peppers with a 1 Tbsp of butter instead of frozen peas. I added some garlic in the beginning as well. I added the smoked sausage, tomatoes and then 1 1/2 cup of chicken broth. I didn’t have Zatarin’s so I just poured in a cup of jasmine rice. I let it cook for 18 mins. I covered the shrimp with 2 tsp of Cancun seasoning and cooked the shrimp in a separate pan with butter because not everyone in my family likes shrimp. When the rice is done cooking, I served the dish and added the shrimp and some cayenne pepper. Yummmmmm
I made this with the shrimp andouille sausage and leftover chicken (my wife doesn't like shrimp) and it was very good. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing.
Try using either chicken or vegetable stock instead of water and chopped green pepper in place of peas.
I used chicken broth instead of water added some rotisserie chicken. Had andouie sausage. Made a delicious meal loved it!
I made the recipe as written. I m planning on making it again for the entire family. At sometime when asparagus is garden fresh I ll swap out the peas.
This is such a great and easy recipe for the paella novice like myself. I was surprised that the shrimp came out perfect using the cooking time recommended. Instead of water I used vegetable broth. The only thing I noticed was that it tasted a bit salty and that could of been because I used vegetable broth or because the rice mix I used was Mahatma Spanish rice. Next time I ll look at the sodium content and cut it somewhere. Nonetheless I loved this recipe!
This was a very good and easy recipe to make. I found the andouille sausage too spicy so would stick with a mild sausage next time. I would definitely make this again.
I used andouille sausage and doubled the amount because I didn't have shrimp so I skipped that part. I know andouille is spicy and it was no joke how spicy it was. Also I added a little salt and pepper to the end product for a little more flavor besides just straight spice. Overall it was good and I can see that lots of substitutes can be made for the various proteins. Also I'm sure other veggies can be used as well.
Very good and very easy...
This was a very quick and easy jambalaya. I used sweet Italian chicken sausage links in place of the smoked sausage and just left them whole so I could give it to the kids and tell them it was a hot dog lol... I also used an entire 28oz can of diced tomatoes since that's what I had on hand and then decreased the water to about 1 1/2cups. This was good but not amazing.
