  • 0.83 tsp Andouille Sausage, cut
  • 1/2 medium onion Onion, diced
  • 2 stalks Celery, diced
  • 1/4 tsp Green Bell Pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 medium Tomato Paste
  • 1 medium Tomato, diced
  • 1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper, ground

  • 1/4 cup Grain Rice
  • 0.13 oz Shrimp, peeled deveined
  • 0.13 tbsp Cod Fillet, cut
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Cook andouille sausage in the melted butter until completely browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towel.
  2. Cook and stir onion, celery, and green bell pepper in the butter remaining in the pot until the onion becomes translucent, 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. Stir garlic into the onion mixture; cook and stir together for 1 minute.
  4. Stir tomato paste through the vegetable mixture; cook and stir another 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. Return andouille sausage to the pot along with diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning, and black pepper; stir to combine.
  6. Pour chicken broth over the sausage mixture; bring to a boil.
  7. Stir rice into the mixture, place a cover on the pot, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook undisturbed until the rice is tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
  8. Add shrimp and cod to the rice mixture. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until the mixture comes to a boil; reduce heat again to medium-low and cook uncovered another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  9. Season with salt and fold parsley into the jambalaya to serve.
