Ingredients
-
1 cup Red bell peppers, sweet chopped
1 cup Celery diced
1 cup Onions
1 cup Green Peppers, chopped
Garlic, 4 clove diced
6 cup Water
1-12 oz bottle Red Stripe Beer
16 oz bag of cooked frozen Shrimp
.5 cup Clams canned meat only
1.5 lb bag boiled frozen Crawfish
.5 cup Butter, salted,
.5 cup Flour, white,
Season to taste with...
Louisanna hot sauce
Salt
black pepper
Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning
Directions
makes 8, 1.5 cup servings
chop all vegatables and set aside. thaw shrimp and crawfish reserve tails from shrimp for boiling with the water and beer. Boil beer, water, shrimp tails and a few of the clams with the clam juice frm the can. This will reduce to down to 4 cups of liquid to add to the Roux. While that is boiling melt the butter and add the flour in a heavy stock pan. Stir constantly until this mixture turns a meadium to dark brown. This may take 30 minutes or longer, keep the heat low though...it's worth the work. BE SURE NOT TO LEAVE THE ROUX WHILE IT COOKS. If it burns you must start over. When your Roux is done add your 4 cups of strained seafood broth and boil together for 30 minutes. Add the vegetables and a bit Tony's Creole seasoning. Don't be to heavy handed with the seasoning at this point because you will want to taste the Jambalya when everything is added before you are finished adding the seasoning. Let vegatables boil for another 30 minutes to 1 hour before you add the seafood then slowly boil for 30 minutes. add lousianna hot sauce to your taste, I use 1/4 cup and add more when I serve my bowl. My husband does not but he's not a lover of hot food. Serve with rice.
