How to make Easy Cajun Jambalaya Pasta?
Step 1: Add the chicken, shrimp, sausage, Cajun spices, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, garlic, Kosher salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix well until blended.
Step 2: Heat the canola oil in a large skillet or a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the mixture to the bowl in two batches and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes or until cooked through.
Step 3: To the pan, add the tomatoes and pour in the chicken stock. Continue to cook with the ingredients in the pan for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat with the sauce.
Step 4: Serve the Cajun Jambalaya Pasta right away garnished with some parsley and the remaining minced bell peppers. Enjoy!
Note:
To prevent the shrimp from overcooking, take them out of the pan and transfer them to a separate bowl. Return the shrimp to the pan after the ingredients are cooked.
