Light and easy cajun cooking – so good Chef Prudhomme would approve!

This jambalaya recipe is a staple at our house. I make it when my family wants something healthy and tasty to eat in a hurry. That’s because shellfish is so quick and and easy to prepare. I usually buy frozen shrimp in bulk and store it in the freezer – it’s a lot cheaper that way. The leftovers taste terrific, too. Pair it with red beans and rice or some sweet potato fries. Do you have a favorite casserole dish that would led itself to add shellfish?
