    Title: Nawlins Slow Cooker Jambalaya
    Categories: Poultry, Pork, Seafood, Vegetables, Rice
    Yield: 8 servings

    1 lg White onion; diced
    3 Ribs celery; diced
    1 Green bell pepper; diced
    3 cl Garlic; diced
    1 lb Smoked sausage; sliced 1/4"
    1 lb Boned chicken thighs; in
    - bite-size pieces
    28 oz Can diced tomatoes
    1 tb Dried oregano
    2 Bay leaves
    2 tb Tony Chachere’s Creole
    - Seasoning
    1 lb Large shrimp; shell on,
    - thawed
    1 c Long grain white rice
    1/2 ts Salt; to taste
    1/2 ts Black pepper; to taste
    Fresh parsley; chopped,
    - garnish

    SLOW COOK THE SAUSAGE, CHICKEN, AND VEGGIES: Add the
    onion, celery, bell pepper, garlic, sausage, chicken,
    tomatoes, oregano, bay leaves, and Creole seasoning to a
    large slow cooker. Stir together well.

    Cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 4 to 5 hours. You
    are ready to move onto the next step when the veggies
    are very tender and the chicken is cooked through and
    you can pull it easily apart.

    ADD THE SHRIMP AND COOK ON HIGH: Leave the shells on the
    shrimp, but use kitchen shears to cut up the backs; this
    will make them easier to peel later.

    Add the shrimp to the slow cooker. Stir it in, cover,
    and cook on high for another 30 to 45 minutes until the
    shrimp are cooked through.

    COOK THE RICE: While the shrimp cooks, cook the rice
    either according to the package directions or following
    this boiled rice method. When done, set the rice aside,
    covered, until ready to serve. (This makes about 4 cups
    of cooked rice.)

    TASTE AND SEASON: Remove bay leaves from the jambalaya
    and taste. Season with salt and pepper to taste and
    garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Either peel the
    shells off the shrimp now, or serve with the shells on
    and instruct guests to remove the shells as they eat.

    Stir the cooked rice into the jambalaya, or serve the
    jambalaya ladled over top the rice.

    Leftovers will keep in the fridge in air-tight
    containers for 2 to 3 days and then the shrimp start to
    really break down. This dish doesn’t freeze particularly
    well. The combination of rice, shrimp, and sauce doesn’t
    reheat easily without making the shrimp very rubbery.
