Always one for a good slow cooker recipe, but quick to get tired of chili, beef stew, or a roast, I wanted something different one holiday when I was hosting a family gathering. I stumbled upon a recipe for gumbo that led me to another recipe for jambalaya, which ended up morphing into my own recipe for jambalaya. Which is absolutely delicious, and super easy to throw together.
Yield: 6
Shrimp & Sausage Jambalaya
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 8 hours
Total Time: 8 hours 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 28oz can petite diced tomatoes
- 1 14.5oz can petite diced tomatoes
- 2 14.5oz cans chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 2 dried bay leaves
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1lb Italian sausage
- 1lb large frozen raw shrimp (thawed), de-tailed and peeled
- 2/3 cup uncooked white rice
Instructions
*Smoked sausage is a good alternative, and requires even less prep since you don’t have to cook it before putting it in the slow cooker.
Looks delicious! I’m always looking for new recipes to try, especially in my slow cooker. I’ll have to bookmark this one.
I hope you like it as much as we did – the leftovers were to die for!
O….M….G is all I can say. Can I jump in a time machine and skip to leftovers? Not sure if it could be any better! Can’t wait for tomorrow. Thanks Liza!!
@Michael I’m glad you love it!!! When I made it this past weekend, I only had beef broth and smoked sausage so I used that – and I cooked it stove top instead. Still delicious!!!
