Foil Packet Jambalaya Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Divide mixture among 6 greased 18x12-in. pieces of heavy-duty foil. Fold foil around mixture and crimp edges to seal, forming packets; place on a baking sheet. Bake until shrimp turn pink and rice is tender, 20-25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven 450 degrees.
• Spray sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
• Cut chicken into 1 inch strips and pat dry with paper towel.
• Season chicken strips with Cajun seasoning.
• In a small bowl combine tomato sauce, sugar, salt, garlic, dehydrated onions, fresh parsley, dried Italian seasoning, cayenne and bell pepper.
• In a large bowl combine cooked rice, tomato mixture, seasoned chicken strips and smoked sausage slices.
• Center one-fourth of mixture on each sheet of greased foil, leaving room for heat circulation inside.
• Repeat to make four packets and place on baking sheet. Two baking sheets may be required.
• Bake 15 - 20 minutes.
• Open packet as directed above and top with green onions.
• Even better the next day!

Steps:

• Preheat your oven or grill to 400 degrees.
• Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
• Place five square pieces of foil on the counter and spray the centers with cooking spray. Divide the mixture among them. Fold up two sides of the foil and fold over. Then curl both ends in to make a seal packet. Place directly on the grill, or on a baking sheet in the oven.
• If grilling, turn over half way through grilling.
• Cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until the rice is soft.

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 6 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Cook rice in water as directed on package. In large bowl, mix cooked rice and remaining ingredients. Place 1/6 of mixture (dividing shrimp and scallops evenly) on center of each sheet.
• Bring up 2 sides of foil over shrimp mixture so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
• Place packets on grill over low heat. Cover grill; cook 12 to 15 minutes, rotating packets 1/2 turn after 6 minutes, until shrimp are pink.
• To serve, cut large X across top of each packet; carefully fold back foil to allow steam to escape.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 2. In a large mixing bowl, toss together all ingredients except cooking spray. (Remember not to go too heavy on the salt because the sausage and Cajun seasoning are both quite salty.) Stir until combined. 3. Spray one side of each of two large pieces of foil. Divide mixture evenly among foil and fold to form well-sealed pouches. Place pouces on a small rimmed baking sheet. 4. Place pouches in oven and bake until rice and proteins are fully cooked, 30-35 minutes. To check for doneness, carefully open one pouch, examine proteins to make sure they are firm and opaque, and test a few grains of rice from center of pouch. If necessary, reseal pouch and return to oven. 5. To serve, open pouches and pour contents into a large serving bowl or divide among four bowls. Garnish with green onion, if desired.
