Whooo hooo it’s party time! Ah, Mardi Gras, that time of year when getting beads takes on a whole new meaning and the food is hot and spicy as I like it! LOL. I know many of you like to do Mardi Gras themed parties when you can’t make it to N’awlins but you may not be able to find a GREAT Jambalaya recipe, right? Well, you’re in luck.
Any good Jambalaya is PACKED with flavor, the best way to achieve that is through the right spices and using the right selection of sausage. My go to sausage comes from Johnsonville Sausage, the moment you bite into them you can taste the goodness. Johnsonville split rope sausages are ALWAYS packed with flavor because they only use premium cuts of pork, and unlike most other fully cooked sausages, Johnsonville uses absolutely no fillers … which means you get a juicy and firm texture with each bite. I was super excited to make this fabulous “Shrimp and Johnsonville Andouille Sausage Jambalaya” for you all, and since I just got my fabulous new DSLR you’ll be able to see all the yummyness in my pics below, lol.
