Foil Packet Shrimp And Sausage Jambalaya Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Combine the frozen rice, scallions (white and light green parts only), celery, garlic, bell pepper, sausage, tomatoes, okra, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl; toss well.
• Lay out four 18-inch-long sheets of nonstick heavy-duty foil on a work surface. Divide the rice mixture among the foil sheets. Bring the two short ends of the foil together and fold to seal, then fold in the sides and seal to make flat packets.
• Grill the foil packets, flipping once, until the vegetables are tender and the rice and sausage are hot, about 8 minutes per side. Carefully open and top with the dark scallion greens.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high. Add sausage; cook about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Add onion, celery, bell pepper, garlic, and jalapeno. Cook 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened. Add rice and cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds.
• Add stock, tomatoes, salt, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until rice is just tender, 10 minutes. Add shrimp, cover, and cook until shrimp turn pink, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in scallions and lemon juice. Garnish with additional scallions.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or black iron pot over medium heat, add the kielbasa and saute for 8 to 10 minutes, until browned. Remove the kielbasa to a bowl, and set aside. Add the ham to the same pot and cook 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove to the bowl with the kielbasa, and set aside. Add the butter, onion, celery and peppers to the same pot and saute for 8 to 10 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add the tomato, garlic, jalapeno or cayenne, oregano, thyme, and tomato paste and cook until all the vegetables and herbs are blended well. Add the stock and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in the rice, and add the sausage, ham, bay leaves, salt, pepper and hot sauce. Return to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of the scallions, 1/4 cup of the parsley, the lemon juice and the shrimp, and stir well. Cover the pot, remove it from the heat and allow the jambalaya steam, for 15 minutes, before serving.
• Garnish with the remaining 1/4 cup scallions and 1/2 cup parsley, and a dash of hot sauce, if desired.

Steps:

• Cook the rice according to package directions, keep warm.
• In a large bowl, toss together the sausage, chicken, vegetables, garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, cayenne and parsley; set aside.
• Combine the shrimp with brown sugar, remaining olive oil, paprika, and Tabasco sauce.
• Cut 4 pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil in 18x18 inch sheets. Place on a flat surface and divide the sausage mixture evenly among the packets.
• Top each packet with 3 of the shrimp, a couple of cubes of butter and a few grinds of fresh pepper and salt.
• Fold the top of each foil piece over jambalaya so edges meet, then crimp together and roll toward the center, fold the ends in the same manner, pressing to seal firmly.
• Put the packets on a preheated grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until puffed; remove from grill and let rest for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Carefully open packets and spoon the jambalaya over the cooked rice; garnish with green onions and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Place butter and sausage in a large stockpot over medium heat; cook and stir for 5-6 minutes until sausage begins to brown.
• Stir in paprika, cumin and cayenne; cook for 1 minute.
• Stir tomatoes, celery, green pepper, green onions, salt, and bay leaf into sausage mixture.
• Add brown rice and stir to combine. Stir in chicken stock and turn heat to low. Cover and cook for until rice is just tender, about 45 minutes.
• Stir in shrimp, replace lid and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
