shrimp and chicken jambalaya

 
I am a nervous nelly when it comes to watching my favorite teams play in big games. I fret. I groan. I yell. And I cheer, but sometime not too loud for fear of jinxing the next play. Husband hates this. So he didn’t watch the AFC championship game when my Pats were playing (pretty terribly). The Seahawks, too, when they were rockin’ the playoffs, but we did tune into the Super Bowl together. I was much more relaxed. Didn’t have much vested in the game, except to root against th 49ers. Division rivals! No way am I cheering for that team!

Enjoyed a cheat meal for Super Bowl. Paying homage to the New Orleans locale I made slow cooker shrimp & chicken jambalaya. The rice was not fully cooked at kick off, though the shrimp was just right. Of course, it being a slow cooker, by halftime the rice was just right, and the shrimp a bit overdone. Was pretty much full by then anyway. Next time I’ll either cook the rice separate, time the brown rice better, or go with traditional white rice.

Next time, Seahawks!
