I get food and wine emails up the wazoo every single day. I love reading them and figuring how to re-engineer them. this one stuck out and I saved it. I think I got the original from Snooth, but don’t quote me on that. Wait. I just quoted myself. Never mind… 🙂
The original calls for Andoille sausage and lots of rice. Needless to say, I traded those for healthier ingredients and changed a few of the others according to what I had in the ‘fridge. It’s a hit and what makes it even better is that it’s all in one pot! No added salt needed, since the seafood itself has salt in it. Hardly any clean up at all…except for all the knives and prep stuff for cutting. Tell me what you think!
