Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups chopped onions
1 cup chopped bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped celery
Salt and cayenne pepper
1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into 1/4-inch slices
4 bay leaves
2 cups chopped tomatoes, peeled and seeded
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 cups white rice
3 1/2 cups chicken stock
2 pounds crawfish tails
1 cup chopped green onions

Directions

In a large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions, peppers, and celery. Season with salt and cayenne. Saute the vegetables for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are wilted. Add the sausage and saute for 2 minutes. Add the bay leaves, tomatoes, and garlic. Saute for 2 minutes. Stir in the rice and saute for 2 minutes. Add the stock. Season with salt and cayenne. Bring the liquid up to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook the jambalaya for 25 to 30 minutes, covered, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Stir in the crawfish tails and green onions and re-season, if necessary.

A Recipe for shrimp, crawfish, but not lobster
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've done this twice. It comes out fine, but you need the strong flavor of shrimp or crawfish,. Don't try this with delicate... seafood such as lobster or crab. It's a great recipe to start with - add whatever, and change the sausage and seafood around.Read more

Easy Recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a great overall recipe!! As it's not that easy to get good crawfish where I live, I subsitute 1 lb of turkey sausage... and also I put in chopped cooked chicken (usually from a rotisserie chicken you can pick up at the grocery store) for the crawfish tails. I've taken this to many potluck type events and everyone always asks for the recipe!Read more

Yummy.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is a jambalaya that has many levels of flavor, rather than just cajun seasoning, you have chicken stock, onion and... garlic. Since I love onion and garlic, the portions are perfect, I don't find them overpowering at all. I always use shrimp rather than crawfish. I've also used a many different kinds of sausage for this dish and found that a spicy chicken sausage makes it a delicious healthy meal.Read more

Unpleasantly strong onion flavor
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

The recipe is very strong on the onion and garlic. The crawfish are almost drowned out and the rice comes out gummy. I will... not be adding this to my menu rotation.Read more

cut back on onions and garlic
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I made the recipe but with lobster and crab meat instead of the crawfish. (My grocery store was out.) Then I threw the whole... pot away, because all I could taste was onions and garlic.Read more
