1 teaspoon Oregano
To Season Chicken and Shrimps
Mix and toss the chicken with ½ tablespoon of the above mixed seasoning in a bowl.
1 lb Boneless chicken
Mix and toss the shrimp with 1 teaspoon of the mixed seasonings. Save the rest to cook the rice.
Cook the Chicken, Sausage and Shrimps
Add 3 tablespoon oil to a pan over medium heat. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until light brown. Remove and set aside on a plate.
You may add oil to cook the shrimp for 2 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside on a plate.
9-10 Shrimps
Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan and sauté the sausage for few minutes until brown on both sides. Remove and set aside on a plate.
10 ounces Sausage
To Cook the Jambalaya
Add 4-5 tablespoon oil to the pan and sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant for 1 minute.
1 large Onion,
3-4 cloves Garlic
Add the tomato paste and crushed tomato. Stir occasionally for 3 to 4 minutes till some water dries. This avoids mushy rice.
1 can Crushed tomatoes,
2 tablespoon Tomato paste
Add the remaining mixed seasoning, washed rice, celery, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
2 cups Long-grain white rice,
2 ribs Celery,
3-4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
Cover the pan or pot and cook on medium heat for 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the rice doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.
You may add water or broth if needed. Cook until the rice is tender and fluffy.
Add the cooked chicken, shrimp and sausage when fully cooked. Gently stir to combine.
Garnish with chopped green onion and serve.
