Miss Lil’s Jambalaya

Bob the Chef's/Miz Lil's Jambalaya: 

1/2 lb margarine

2 lb smoked beef sausage

2 c. chopped onions

2 c. chopped celery

1 c. diced red pepper

2 c. chopped canned tomatoes

2 lb diced boneless chicken

1.5 lb shrimp (P&D)

2 tbsp crushed red pepper

4 tbsp Cajun seasoning

2 c. tomato puree

1/2 cup dry chicken base

3 c. rice (uncooked)

3 c. water 

Sauté onions, celery, peppers, chicken, and sausage in margarine for 10-15 minutes.

Add seasonings, tomatoes, and tomato puree.

Continue to cook for 5 minutes more.

Add rice and stir until mixed well.

Add chicken base and water.

Bring to a boil for 20-25 minutes.

    Most of the water should be absorbed and the rice should be a little moist.

Add shrimp, cook only until shrimp is done (takes only a few minutes). 

Yield: 8 lbs.

(I’d put some good bourbon in it myself)
