Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage Jambalaya

Dinner Tonight: Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage Jambalaya

Beautiful day out today, cold but mostly sunny. Had an early light Breakfast of a couple of Eggo's. Then it was off to Walmart and then on to Kroger to finish up, and stopped by the Bank. The stores were quite busy to be that early. Back home then  worked out and then helped Mom do a few chores around the house. For dinner tonight it's a Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage Jambalaya with a Baked Sour Dough Mini Boule.






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.




Then while at Kroger I picked up a Sour Dough Mini Boule that I baked. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Mousse.
