Chicken and Shrimp Quinoa Jambalaya #SundaySupper

February 7, 2016 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 10 Comments

Hi Everyone,

One of my all-time favorite places in the whole world is Louisiana!  I have been there two times and hope to make it back there sometime this year.  I love the people, the food and the at home feeling I get when I go there.  I was so excited when #SundaySupper teamed up with Zatarain’s to celebrate Mardi Gras and Jambalaya.  Jambalaya is one of my favorite dishes ever!  It’s a wonderful dish that is influenced by Spanish rule of the area during the mid- to late-1700s. French, Italian and even African flavor influences are also present in the iconic dish.  It’s mainly made up of vegetables, chicken, shrimp, sausage and rice.  I changed my recipe a little bit and made Chicken and Shrimp Quinoa Jambalaya.

Chicken and Shrimp Quinoa Jambalaya #SundaySupper

I am so giddy from this recipe. You really have no idea how much I love Jambalaya! My dish is made with sweet & green bell peppers, onion, garlic, celery, chicken, Andouille Smoked Chicken Sausage, and shrimp.  It only needs one seasoning, Zatarain’s Creole Seasoning.  My only added touch was  a bay leaf.  Oh and how can I forget the quinoa?  I decided to skip the rice and add one of my favorite grains instead.  Anyone who is not a fan of quinoa will change their mind if they have it in Jambalaya.

The recipe in general is so easy to make!  I just sauté my vegetables, scoop them out of my pot and cook my chicken and sausage.  Then I add the vegetables back to the  pot and add chicken broth, tomatoes, Zatarain’s Creole Seasoning and quinoa. Let it cook for about 30 minutes and then add the shrimp.  So perfect!  I must have tasted tested about a serving. I couldn’t stay away.

This recipe makes a lot!  I figured about 10 cups.  I ate about 2 cups for dinner and I was beyond full.  My belly was going to explode, but I couldn’t stay away.  This makes for a great recipe for a crowd!  You can also freeze it too. Not only is this recipe the perfect Mardi Gras recipe, but is perfect to have on a cold winter’s night.  It really warms your belly.

I tend to get excited and forget to tell you details.  Sorry about that! I wanted you to know that if you let the Jambalaya rest for a little bit before serving, it really thickens up.  The only thing missing from my recipe is bread!  You need some good French or sour dough bread to pick up any juices you have.  The flavor is slightly spicy, but has the most amazing Southern flavor.  As you can tell I love it!!

Doesn’t the pot look like good old fashion home cooking?  It looks like it would be made at the best Southern Louisiana diners.  You know how I love my diner food!

Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I k Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I know I complain about the weather a lot, but this seriously blows my mind in how crappy it is here. I need to get into the garden. It’s my happy place.
🐰
Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.
🐰
The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.
🐰
Have the best day and I hope the sun is shining where you live!!

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.
🫧
I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

Have a beautiful day!

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. 
🌸
Have a wonderful Monday!!

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.
