Jambalaya

This is one of many possible variations of Jambalaya, spiced with my Cajun Spice.  This variation happens to have Shrimp & Ground Chicken (spiced with my Sausage Spice).


This serves 8, serve over cooked rice (or cooked squash if trying to lighten even more).


Ingredients:
  1 pound uncooked peeled & cleaned shrimp
  1 pound 99% fat free ground chicken (Smart Chicken is the brand available at my store)
  2 cups chopped onion
  2 cups chopped bell pepper
  1 cup chopped celery
  1 cup sliced carrots
  2 cups diced portobello mushrooms
  12 medium fresh tomatoes, diced
  1 1/2 Tbl Cajun Spice
  2 tsp Sausage Spice

Use a single large non-stick pot, sprayed with Olive Oil.  Cook the ground chicken together with the Sausage Spice.  Once the chicken is cooked add remaining ingredients, except tomatoes, cook until onions are translucent.  Add tomatoes, bring to a light boil, turn down heat and let simmer at least 1/2 hour (can simmer much longer)… if you'd like to at this point you can transfer to a crock pot that is set to Low.


Now have a bit of fun… change up the ingredients… mix up the meats… try different vegetables...
