Creole-Style Jambalaya by the Cookbooks<\/h2>\n

To start, heat a small dry pan over high heat. Drop in peppercorns, paprika, and cayenne \u2014 let them toast while you retrieve your mortar and pestle. Pour your toasty spices into the mortar and grind until the mixture is smooth. Add salt, thyme, and bay to taste.<\/p>\n

Now set that delicious concoction aside. On to the next steps.<\/p>\n

Grab a wide, lidded pan. Coat the bottom with oil and heat it up on medium-high heat. Once the oil\u2019s sizzling, add in your pork sausage\u2026 Whoa, whoa, whoa\u2026 <\/em>Why are you reaching for a knife? You did<\/em> prep your sausage beforehand, right? You chopped it into bite-size chunks so it will cook evenly and quickly, yeah? You didn\u2019t?!<\/p>\n

*facepalm*<\/em><\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s back this up a bit.<\/p>\n

Did you finely chop your onion? The peppers? And the celery? No? Alright.<\/p>\n

What about your three garlic cloves? You surely remembered to crush them before<\/em> you turned on the stove? No? Seriously?<\/p>\n

Well, then\u2026 Did you par-boil your rice?<\/p>\n

OK, OK, OK \u2014 the shrimp, of course, you deveined and peeled your shrimp\u2026 Hmmm\u2026<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fine. Really. Seriously. All we need to do is backtrack a little. Sure, this recipe requires a heavy helping of prep, in addition to perfectly timing the addition of your ingredients. But you knew that going in. Ah, you didn\u2019t realize cooking up a heap of delicious jambalaya would be so time-consuming, did you? Oh dear.<\/p>\n

<\/a>You know, as someone wise once said, it doesn\u2019t have to be like this. The \u2018it\u2019 in this case is mouthwatering jambalaya. The \u2018how\u2019 is with a little help from us.<\/p>\n
