S+S chow: spicy jambalaya

Bring on the heat! That's our motto around here. We love adding a kick to the meals we make, and our boys love it too. This jambalaya brings it. I seriously think the was one of the simplest meals I've ever made. I threw all the ingredients my crockpot in the morning and was greeted with delicious aromas when I arrived home. Filled with veggies and protein, it's healthy to boot! I call that a win, win. This is the perfect weeknight meal and would make an amazing addition to your Super Bowl spread. Happy weekend darlings!!

Ingredients:
5 c. chicken stock.
4 peppers – any color you want {I used red, yellow and orange}, chopped

2 cloves garlic, diced

1 lb large shrimp, raw and de-veined.

Brown Rice

Directions:
1) Put the chopped peppers, onions, garlic, chicken, cajun seasoning, Red Hot, and bay leafs in the crockpot with the chicken stock. Set on low for 6 hours.
2) About 30 minutes before it’s finished, toss in the cut up sausages.
3) Steam the brown rice and serve the jambalaya on top! Enjoy!
