Jambalaya with garlic shrimp and sauteed chicken

Chicken second courses

Jambalaya utilizes the holy trinity of Cajun cooking; celery, onions and Bell peppers as many of their dishes do. But we add a new twist to the dish by using garlic shrimp, sauteed chicken and adding Jalapeno pepper to enhance the flavor. We also cook the rice in the sauteed vegetables as in risotto, and add back the sauteed chicken and garlic shrimp about ten minutes from the end so that the flavors mingle but the chicken and shrimp don't overcook. This way we get a very tasty, fresh and clean tasting jambalaya that is a fusion of different cooking styles, seafood and meat.
