Storage

Leftovers can be kept in an air-tight covered container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.

To reheat in the oven at 350°F until warm, about 10 minutes. Microwave according to manufacturers' instructions.

We do not recommend freezing the recipe. The shrimp will change texture once it is cooked and then frozen.

Expert Tips

Expert Tip: Start with 2 Tablespoons of Cajun seasoning. If you prefer spicer food, wait until the flavors blend and re-season before serving.

• Use salt-free chicken stock and diced tomatoes to reduce sodium.
• For the cauliflower rice, either make your own or use a store-made brand found in the freezer section of your grocer.
• Although jambalaya is considered a stew, it won't be soupy. It is a thicker stew.
