Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup diced red bell pepper
- ½ cup diced onion
- ¼ cup diced celery
- ½ lb. raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 (8 ounce) box Zatarain’s® Jambalaya Mix, Original
- 2 ½ cups water
- ½ lb. (about 1 ½ cups) cooked, diced turkey
- Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add diced bell pepper, celery, onion and shrimp; sauté just until shrimp are pink (about 5 minutes).
- Use a slotted spoon to remove shrimp and vegetables from the pot; set aside.
- Add water and Jambalaya Mix to the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover.
- Simmer (covered) for 25 minutes, or until rice is tender. Add turkey, shrimp and vegetables during the final 5 minutes of cooking time. Remove from heat. Let stand (covered) for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork before serving. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
Notes
- Can you freeze Turkey Jambalaya with Shrimp?
- This dish is best enjoyed immediately after it's prepared. I don't recommend freezing jambalaya with shrimp, since the rice may be slightly mushy and the texture of the shrimp will be poor.
- What goes with Turkey and Shrimp Jambalaya?
- This easy jambalaya recipe is truly an entire meal in one pot! With protein, veggies, and grains, you really don't need anything more. That said, if you'd like to an additional option on the side, I suggest:
- COOK'S TIPS AND RECIPE VARIATIONS:
- Cornbread or Corn Muffins
- Baguette-style French bread
- Collard greens
- Corn on the cob
- Remove the shrimp and vegetables from the pot as soon as the shrimp starts to turn pink. The shrimp will be added back to the pot for the final 5 minutes of cooking time, so you want to make sure that you don't overcook the shellfish and end up with a rubbery finished product.
- If you don't have any leftover holiday turkey, you can substitute with an equal amount of cooked, diced chicken.
- Instead of shrimp, you can add 1/2 lb. of smoked sausage to the turkey jambalaya. Brown the sausage in the pot with the vegetables in the same manner described for the shrimp.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, if possible. It adds a nice, bright flavor (and color) to the finished dish.
