Camp Food: One Dish Jambalaya
Today is hot.
I love it. I wish I could be at the pool but I chose today to switch my 2-year-old to a big girl bed so I am sitting outside her room so I can catch her when she gets up, munching on salami and cheese and listening to my older three children play on the slip-n-slide with my husband – that sounds way more fun doesn’t it?!
Oh well.
We had this jambalaya for dinner last night and it tasted just like any other jambalaya {{major delish}} I have had BUT it was CRAZY easy.
Wahoo for easy!!!
So I decided I would definitely make this as a camping meal in a heartbeat.
Andouille sausage is pretty spicy, my kids never eat it so if you have kids or don’t like things to be to hot I would recommend using a different type. I know it is probably sacrilegious but I would just look in the sausage section and try something that looks similar but isn’t so spicy.
But if you want that kick go for the Andouille! It is super tasty.
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large green pepper, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or bacon grease if that's your thing)
- 4 links of smoked Andouille, sliced
- 24-30 medium shrimp, shelled and de-veined
- ½ cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons Creole seasoning
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 2 cups uncooked long-grain rice
- 4 cups chicken broth
- Salt and pepper
- Before leaving for your camping trip place all the ingredients in a gallon zip-top bag except the rice. If it doesn't all fit in one bag use a second.
- Bring the rice in a separate container.
- When you are ready to cook this after a long day of playing and having fun, dump the contents of the bag into a dutch oven or large pot, add the rice.
- Bring to a boil either over a campfire (will take longer but will still work great) or on a camp stove.
- Simmer until rice is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
Thanks for the great recipe: Red Shallot Kitchen!
