Instructions

  • Prep the ingredients per the instructions above.
  • Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown the sausage in the oil, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Sauté the onion, bell peppers, and celery until onion is soft and transparent. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant (30 seconds).
  • Stir in the tomatoes; season with salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, red pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Stir in the filé powder and sausage. Cook for 5 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
  • Add in the rice and chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low-medium. Cover and let simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and rice is cooked, while stirring occasionally.
  • Place the shrimp on top of the Jambalaya mixture, stir through gently, and cover with a lid. Simmer while stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through and pink (about 4-6 minutes, depending on the size/thickness of the shrimp being used). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Warm the rolls in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes at 350℉ (176℃). Then slice in half and spread with butter.
  • Mix all the ingredients for the mocktail. Serve over ice (optional).
  • Portion the jambalaya and garnish with scallions. Serve with roll and hurricane mocktail.
