Get ready to tantalize your taste buds with this traditional Cajun Jambalaya recipe. A one-pot wonder that's chock-full of flavor and spice, this dish is perfect for a cozy night in or a family gathering.
Our Cajun Jambalaya recipe is made with chicken, sausage, and shrimp, but you can also add other proteins like crawfish or pork. The key to making this dish is to layer the flavors by cooking each protein separately and then bringing them together in a single pot.
Next, you'll add in the Holy Trinity of Cajun cooking: onions, bell peppers, and celery. This combination of vegetables is the base of many Cajun dishes and adds a depth of flavor that can't be beat.
Once your veggies are tender, you'll add in the rice and broth. The rice will absorb all of the delicious flavors from the protein and vegetables, resulting in a dish that's bursting with flavor.
Finally, you'll add in the spices. Cajun seasoning, cayenne pepper, and paprika are just a few of the spices that make this dish so flavorful. Adjust the heat to your liking by adding more or less cayenne pepper.
Garnish with chopped green onions and parsley, and serve with a side of crusty bread or cornbread. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
