Happy Fat Tuesday!
We are celebrating Mardi Gras this year with homemade Jambalaya slow-cooked all day in the crock-pot. Recipezaar readers gave it two thumbs up and it looked simple enough, so I tried it. We gave it six thumbs up between me, my husband and my brother. Lots of leftovers too!
I bought raw fresh shrimp for the first time and I'm glad I did. They were de-veined too (I didn't have to do it! Ick!) and I thought they were shelled, but after cooking them, I noticed they were not. Oh well. We just shelled them as we ate. I marinated the shrimp using a Cajun Shrimp Marinade that is very good as well. In fact, I'll have to try it again sometime when I'm not adding the shrimp to a different recipe.
I served the jambalaya over Baked Brown Rice (Alton Brown's version).
Maybe the best part of this jambalaya is that it's a healthy meal, especially when served with brown rice.
