Sausage and Shrimp Jambalaya
Ingredients
  • 1 (14 ounce) package Hillshire Farm® Smoked Sausage
  • 1/4 cup cooking oil
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup frozen sliced okra
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 pound large raw shrimp, peeled, deveined
  • 3 cups hot cooked long-grain white rice
Instructions
1
Slice the sausage into thin, uniform pieces and place them aside for now.
2
Combine oil and flour in a large 4-quart saucepan; blend the mixture until it's smooth and free of lumps. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, for a period of 3 minutes. Gradually decrease the heat to medium and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches a deep reddish-brown color, taking around 6 to 8 minutes.
3
Next, add the onion, bell peppers, celery, okra and garlic to the saucepan; cook and stir until all the vegetables are tender and have reached their full flavor, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Introduce the Cajun seasoning into the mixture and stir well.
4
Now, pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Continue cooking and stirring for just 1 minute, before reducing the heat to low. Add the sausage, pepper sauce, black pepper and salt to the mixture; cover the saucepan with a lid and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
5
Remove the lid from the saucepan and bring the mixture to a rolling boil once more; add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, taking around 3 minutes.
6
Finally, divide the rice into individual serving bowls and ladle the gumbo over the top of each bowl.
