Velveeta Jambalaya Skillet Recipes

AUTHENTIC JAMBALAYA RECIPE (EASY & HEALTHY JAMBALAYA)

Steps:

• Heat the oil on medium in a large Dutch oven on the stove top.
• Add onion, celery, and bell pepper and cook about 5 minutes.
• Add garlic, basil, oregano, and thyme and stir. Cook for about 5 more minutes.
• Add the chicken and sausage and let brown for 5-10 minutes, stirring often.
• Add cayenne pepper and paprika to the meat mixture and blend lightly.
• Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, and rice and mix. Bring to a light boil, then lower the heat to 1-2 and cover.
• Cook covered on low for 45 minutes, stirring a couple times to make sure the rice isn't sticking to the bottom.
• During the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, add the shrimp to the top of the mixture and cover. Check again after about 5 minutes and flip shrimp over, making sure not to cover it deeply so you can keep an eye on its doneness. Cover and cook 5 more minutes or until shrimp is opaque pink and white.
• Serve right away with a side salad and crusty bread if desired.

SKILLET JAMBALAYA

Steps:

• Season shrimp with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add andouille, onion, bell pepper, Old Bay, and 1/2 tsp salt and cook until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice, garlic, and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Stir in broth and bring to simmer, scraping up browned bits. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
• Scatter shrimp over rice and continue to cook, covered, until rice is tender and shrimp are cooked through, about 5 minutes. Off heat, let rice sit for 2 minutes. Stir in parsley, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
• Note : If you don't have instant rice on hand or if you would like to use long-grain rice, follow this method :
• Substitute 1 1/2 cups long-grain rice for instant rice and increase broth amount to 4 cups. Extend rice cooking time in step 3 to about 20 minutes, then add shrimp and continue with recipe as directed.
• Test Kitchen Tip for Seasoning Shrimp : To save time, we thought we'd skip seasoning our shrimp prior to cooking, but tasters noticed a difference. For the best-tasting shrimp, season the raw shrimp with salt and pepper and let sit for 10 minutes before cooking.
