How to Make Samantha S Jambalaya

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped celery, bell pepper, and onion. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the diced tomatoes (undrained), Cajun seasoning, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for 2 minutes more.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  4. Stir in the rice. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
  5. While the rice is cooking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Andouille sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside in a covered bowl.
  6. In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
  7. Once the rice is cooked, stir in the cooked Andouille sausage and kielbasa. Gently fold in the cooked shrimp.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy! Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve with warm buttermilk biscuits.
