Prawn Jabalaya

Published on 8 February 2025 at 20:39

Jambalaya is a dish that showcases a rich blend of spices and ingredients. At its core is the "holy trinity" of Cajun cooking—onions, celery, and bell peppers—creating a robust base for the dish. The tender shrimp, and fresh vegetables add a little diversity.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan. Add the onion and celery, and fry for 5 mins to soften.
  • Add the rice and spices, and pour in the tomatoes with just under 1 can of water.
  • Crumble and stir in stock cube, pepper, garlic and thyme.
  • Cover the pan with a lid and simmer for 30 mins until the rice is tender and almost all the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Stir in the prawns and parsley, cook briefly to heat through, then serve.
