Notes
Nutrition information includes 3/4 cup of cooked white rice
Any Cajun style seasoning can be used, (salt, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, white pepper, thyme). I used Paul Prudhomme Blackened Redfish Magic.
Aidell's Cajun Andouille Sausage is recommended. The sausage has a thin casing which is left on.
To lower the carbohydrates, serve the jambalaya over cauliflower rice. Available in the freezer section, cook according to label instructions, (either microwave or pan fry).
