Shrimp Jambalaya Stuffed Party Peppers January 15 2015

Recipe Serves 4 entrée size portions

Ingredients:

  • 2 red bell peppers
  • 2 green bell peppers
  • ½ lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • ½ lb. peeled shrimp
  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 2 ½ cups water
  • 1 “Lil’ Party Size” Cook Me Somethin’ Mister Jambalaya Mix (8 oz)

How to prepare:

Slice chicken thighs into quarter pieces. Cut away tops of bell peppers and remove seeds. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Stove Top Directions:

In a large pot of boiling water, parboil the peppers until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and dry on paper towels.

Heat vegetable oil in separate pot. Add and cook chicken thighs until cooked through. Add water and bring to boil. Add Cook Me Somethin’ Mister Jambalaya Mix and bring back to a boil for 3-5 minutes. Add shrimp and continue to stir. Turn heat to low, let simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Pour enough water into a baking dish to just cover the bottom, about 1/8-inch deep.
Stuff the bell peppers with the jambalaya mixture and place in the baking dish. Bake until the peppers are very tender and the filling is heated through, 25 to 30 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes.

Shout “Yum, Yum, Come Get You Some!” & serve.
