         ZATARAIN'S JAMBALAYA

Zatarain's Jambalaya - A little bit of New Orleans at Camp!

Jambalaya is a mildly spicy treat that I love to eat as I do other Lousiana favorites like Gumbo and Red Beans and Rice. Fortunately Zatarain's can get you started on all three and more!



                                                                          Cooking Instructions
  • Get ready to prepare your meal according to the instructions on the back of the box for the "Stove Top" method
  • Fry up one pound of Andoulle Sausage until cooked, a light brown color.
  • Slice up the cooked sausage in 1/4" slices
  • You can also cube up a Chicken Breast and fry it until "medium rare". Do NOT overcook !
  • Now would be the time to chop up some fresh veggies if you like and set them aside(sweet red/green peppers, onions, scallions, etc)
  • Add your Zatarain's Mix to the 2 1/2 cups of boiling water & 4 TBLS of butter (I use butter instead of vegetable oil) then add your vegetables, sausage and chicken to your pot and bring back to a boil. Turn the heat down to low, cover with a lid and cook for 25 minutes.
  • If you want to add shrimp the time to do that would be when there are 10 minutes left to cook. Add your shrimp raw not cooked.
  • When your 25 minutes are up, remove from the heat, stir up and let stand uncovered for another 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Cool down completely then put your Jambalaya into a vacuum sealer bag.
  • Seal using the “Gentle-Moist” setting then put into Freezer until you are ready to leave on your trip.


                                                   Preparation to take from home kitchen to Camp Kitchen
  • Take your frozen foods directly from your freezer & put in your camp cooler w/ ice. Keep cold until ready to use
  • Your Jambalaya will be fine if it thaws out and stays cold in ice or icy water for several days until ready to use . Your vacuum sealed bags should be water proof but to be safe you can put them in secondary water tight container.

                                            Reheating at Camp
  • In a 2 gallon pot bring 1 1/2 gallons of water to a boil
  • Insert your sealed bag(s) of Jambalaya
  • Removed hot bags from pot with tongs
  • Cut open the bag(s), empty on a plate and fluff up a bit with a fork
  • Sit back with a cold beverage and ENJOY!
