Seafood Jambalaya

Today, I have nothing!  No random thoughts, nothing funny to say, no dumb ass things on the news, I have nothing!  So I thought I would just post a recipe that I used for a dinner this weekend.  Had about 30 guests and everyone seemed to like it so I thought I would post it.  However, in the interest of keeping a few secrets, and making it simple and easy for any of you do not know how to cook or cook three different meals for your children at dinner time.  I am using a premix base in the below recipe.  Enjoy!

This serves about 7 people!

½ lbs of frozen mixed seafood should include baby octopus, oysters, crab, shrimp, and squid

½ lbs. of smoked sausage

1 8 oz. can of diced tomatoes and green chilies

2.5 cups of water

1 can of PBR

2 cloves of garlic minced

½ cup diced white onions

7 craw fish

1 cup of finely diced celery

Salt and pepper to taste

Dave’s Insanity sauce to taste (optional)

1 box of Jambalaya Mix ( I like Zatarin’s)

1 tblsp. pepper infused olive or grape seed oil

2 lemon wedges

4 tblsp. butter

 

Heat oil in large 5 quart Soup or Chili Pot until popping, add celery, garlic, onions and sauté for about 5 minutes.  Add can of tomatoes and chilies and 1 drop of Dave’s Insanity Sauce bring to a simmer.  Add PBR and then bring to a boil.  Once boiling add water and bring to boil.  When mixture has boiled for about 3 minutes add Jambalaya Mix and sausage and boil for about 10minutes.  Add frozen seafood and boil for an additional 15-20 minutes (stir often) or until rice is tender.  Once rice is tender simmer until mixture is sticky and most of the liquid is gone.  Remove from heat and cover. 

In a separate pan boil 5 cups of water salt, butter, pepper, and lemon slices.  When water is boiling add crawfish and boil until bright red (like Lobster).  Serve Jambalaya in bowl topped with one crawfish and enjoy.  Best served with beer. 

****Warning Dave’s Insanity Sauce is very hot and it includes a warning label on every bottle.  Do not use f you have heart or respiratory conditions and/or do not taste test even a drop of it.  It can Burn your tongue.  ONE DROP ONLY ABOUT THE SIZE OF PENCIL ERASER
