How to Make Jambalaya Aux Crabes Crab Jambalaya

  1. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1-2 finely chopped jalapeño peppers (adjust to your spice preference), 1/2 teaspoon white pepper, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1 (28-ounce) can of crushed tomatoes.
  3. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth, add 2 cups of cooked crab meat, 1 cup long-grain rice, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for another 20 minutes. This allows the rice to fully absorb the liquid.
  6. Fluff with a fork before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
