Best Combination – Louisiana Crawfish Jambalaya
Louisiana Crawfish and jambalaya are two staples that define this region and what a treat to combine the two making this outstanding Speedy Louisiana Crawfish Jambalaya, from my Gulf Coast Favorites cookbook! Cajun flavor, combined with Louisiana crawfish, reduced-fat smoked sausage, and served over rice is a favorite meal in my household. Try using brown rice to easily boost fiber, because 1 cup of rice equals less than 1 gram of fiber, while 1 cup brown rice equals 3 grams of fiber.
5 Minutes and 5 Ingredients
It isn’t called “Speedy” Louisiana Crawfish Jambalaya without good reason, as this super quick and easy dish is only 5 ingredients, using the best short-cuts for fast flavor! I love to keep Louisiana crawfish tails in my freezer to pull out and whip up my trim and terrific Louisiana crawfish recipes year-round! Did you know the one-half cup of salsa is equal to one serving of vegetables? Add salsa to your favorite recipe to sneak in those extra veggies.
