Instructions
Start by peeling and deveining your shrimp. Place them in a large bowl and season with Cayenne Pepper, Paprika, and Garlic Powder. Toss to coat in the seasoning, then put to the side while you work on the rest of the recipe.
Heat a large pan to medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the oil, diced bell pepper, and red onion. Cook stirring often to prevent burning for about 3 minutes.
Next, add the diced garlic to the pan. Stir in with the pepper and onions and cook for another 2 minutes.
Now add the water and chicken base to the pan and stir until the chicken base has distributed throughout. Once the water is boiling, add the rice and chicken sausage to the pan.
Cook the rice and chicken sausage for about 8 minutes, stirring often. After about 8 minutes add the shrimp to the pan. Arrange the shrimp into the rice and sausage mixture pressing down so the shrimp is sort of along the bottom of the pan. Cook untouched for about 3 minutes.
Add the sliced serrano peppers. Give everything a good stir and press the uncooked side of the shrimp down into the mixture again. Cook the shrimp for 3 minutes on the opposite side, again untouched.
By now the shrimp should be cooked through and the water should be absorbed into the rice. If not turn the heat up a little and cook for a few more minutes until the water is totally absorbed. Again not stirring. You want the rice to get a little crisp on the bottom, that is what makes for a great jambalaya.
Sprinkle the sliced scallions over top and serve.
