Shrimp and Sausage Jambalaya (WW New Complete Cookbook, p. 213)


Yep, another Weight Watchers' recipe. This is from the book In One Pot". It generously serves 6. The guys suggested that I add more sausage and cayenne. I thought it was very good. As is, it has 338 Cal. and 6 grams of fat. Not bad for the amount of food you get. This went very well with a glass of chardonnay.

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
6 ounces turkey kielbasa, cup up
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, chopped
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can chicken broth
3/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp cayenne
1 LB medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

1. Melt butter in large Dutch oven or skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 7-8 minutes. Add kielbasa and cook, stirring, 3 minutes longer.

2. Add rice and cook, stirring frequently until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and liquid, broth, thyme and cayenne: bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until rice is tender, about 30 minutes (watch closely, mine only took about 22 minutes)/

3. Add shrimp to mixture and cook until just opaque in the center and all the liquid has been absorbed, 5-7 minutes longer.

Enjoy!
