Spicy Cajun Jambalaya

Do you love the rich and spicy flavors of Cajun food? I love spicy and Jambalaya can be as spicy as you like.

The Cajun seasoning used in this Crock Pot Jambalaya recipe gives it a punch of spicy flavors but you can also add a drop or two of hot sauce to your bowl if you need a little more heat.

I like adding a little bit of hot sauce for the flavor, not so much the heat.

Shrimp and Sausage Jambalaya

I love the flavor combination of shrimp and sausage in this Crock Pot Shrimp Sausage Jambalaya recipe.

There are many different versions of Jambalaya out there.

You could even add some chicken if you like. You can make a chicken, shrimp, and sausage jambalaya recipe instead.

I used frozen shrimp for this Jambalaya recipe because I had some in the freezer. Fresh shrimp can be used if you have it instead, of course.

The shrimp I had was already deveined. Buying deveined shrimp makes peeling the thawed shrimp so much easier.

If you have an option when buying shrimp go with the deveined shrimp.

Crock Pot Shrimp Sausage Jambalaya

The ingredient list for this Jambalaya recipe is pretty short.

You may have heard of the Holy Trinity of Cajun cooking. Sounds very exotic, doesn't it?

The Holy Trinity is just a few basic cooking ingredients that most Cajun recipes start with.

Onions, bell peppers and celery are the three ingredients most Cajun recipes start with.

The combination of these three flavors will elevate your cooking to the next level. Use them whenever you can.

Besides the onion, bell peppers and celery there is also diced tomatoes, minced garlic, Andouille Sausage, shrimp, fresh parsley, a bay leaf, chicken broth, and Cajun seasoning in this Crock Pot Shrimp Sausage Jambalaya recipe.

Pretty basic ingredients that when combined and slow cooked together taste amazing.
