Sheet Pan Jambalaya

A New Orleans classic reinterpreted for a sheet pan

TIME: 35 min | SERVINGS: 4

Ingredients

  • 12 oz andouille sausage, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1.5 tablespoons Creole seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled
  • 1.5 cups diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups cooked rice
  • Sliced scallions, for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss together bell peppers, sausage, onion, thyme, oil, garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of the Creole seasoning on a 13- x 18-inch rimmed baking sheet; spread mixture in an even layer. Bake until mixture is almost tender-crisp, 15 to 17 minutes, stirring mixture once halfway through cook time.

Meanwhile, thinly slice dark green parts of scallions; set aside. Thinly slice white and light green parts of scallions; transfer to a large bowl. Add shrimp, drained tomatoes and green chiles, and remaining 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning. Using your hands, crumble rice into shrimp mixture to separate any clumps; stir to combine. Set aside until ready to use.

Remove baking sheet from oven. Stir shrimp mixture into bell pepper mixture on baking sheet; return to oven. Bake at 425°F until shrimp are pink and opaque throughout and rice is warm and tender, about 9 minutes. Sprinkle with dark green parts of scallions.
