It’s Mardi Gras time and we couldn’t imagine a better way to celebrate than by inviting Zatarain’s around the family table for Sunday Supper. Their hometown is famous for fun and flavor, and that’s exactly what they deliver – big, authentic flavors inspired by New Orleans and designed to replace “same old” with something special. For me, something special always requires a Portuguese flair and jambalaya should be no different. I was excited to try this Portuguese Style Jambalaya.
We love having fun in the kitchen and although my family has not visited New Orleans, they loved coming up with this delicious jambalaya combination inspired by Mardi Gras. It was a winning combination as far as we were concerned. The best part about it – Zatarain’s Jambalaya Mix did all the work. They know how to bring the flavor to this tasty dish while making it so easy to prepare.
What does it mean to create a Portuguese Style Jambalaya? Chorizo, of course. Pork instead of chicken. And those Portuguese love to add seafood to meat dishes and this one is no different. Pork and chorizo is kicked up with shrimp, mussels and clams. But I will tell you, during a quick weekday supper, I have made this dish without the seafood. Guess what– it was still amazing. Have fun, have the family join the fun and let Zatarain’s help you create easy, fun and delicious dishes the family will love.
