Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage Jambalaya w/ Baked Sour Dough Bread

Dinner Tonight: Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage Jambalaya w/ Baked Sour Dough Bread

It's amazing how you take things for granted until it's taken away from you. Early this morning there was a water main leak here in the park. We had no water from around 7:00 this morning till about 3:00 this afternoon. Which wasn't a long time but if you weren't prepared or warned about it, it was forever! Had an eye appointment, no changes which is a good thing. For dinner  one hearty dish, Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage Jambalaya w/ Baked Sour Dough Bread! I'll be making sure there's extra boxes of this in the pantry, everyone loved it.




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 Butterball Hardwood Smoked Turkey 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 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 Smoked Turkey Sausage and Jumbo Shrimp made 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 dish.






I also had a half loaf of Sour Dough Bread that I baked. For dessert a bowl of some fresh sliced South Carolina Peaches, LOVE these!
