How to Make Spicy Seafood Jambalaya

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large flameproof pan with a lid over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the diced bacon and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving the bacon grease in the pan.
  3. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic, thyme, cayenne pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Cook for 2 minutes more.
  5. Add the rice and stir to coat with the spices and vegetables.
  6. Stir in the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, chicken stock, and white wine. Bring to a boil.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is almost tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  8. Add the shrimp, mussels, and fish to the pan. Cover and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and the mussels have opened.
  9. Stir in the chopped coriander and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Stir in the reserved crispy bacon. Serve immediately.
