Leftovers: Shrimp and Andouille Sausage Jambalaya

Today’s Menu: Leftovers: Shrimp and Andouille Sausage Jambalaya








Warm and muggy out today, a lot of heavy rain over night. I read an article in the paper that was talking about how far behind the farmers were on their planting due to the extended Winter and wet Spring we've been having. Hope the delay doesn't cause the prices to rise anymore than what they are. Spent the late afternoon running Mom and Dad to the doctor for their checkups. After all the running around I wanted something easy to prepare for dinner, so what better than the microwave and leftovers! I heated up the leftovers from last night's dinner, Shrimp and Andouille Sausage Jambalaya.








Heated it up and it was just as delicious as the first time! I also had a slice of Klosterman Wheat Bread. Then for dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Yogurt. Below is the directions on how I made the Jambalaya yesterday.





I used Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Jambalaya Mix (Reduced Sodium) for my base for the Jambalaya. I use Zatarain’s Products whenever I can, love the flavor and seasoning of all their products. To prepare it I just followed the easy instructions on the box. Mixed 2 1/2 cups of Water and 2 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and brought it to a boil. Added the Zatarain’s Jambalaya Mix and my Johnsonville Andouille Smoked Sausage, I had sliced the Sausage into smaller pieces before adding. Returned it to a boil, and then reduced the heat to low. Covered and simmered for about 25 minutes till most of the moisture had been absorbed. With 10 minutes left I added my (Kroger Brand) Jumbo Shrimp, till fully cooked and turned pink. Removed it from the heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes before I served it. The Andouille Sausage and Jumbo Shrimp make a fantastic pairing with the Jambalaya Mix! I added a couple of shakes of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce to the mix also, nothing like a little heat to liven things up! This makes one delicious Jambalaya Dish.
