Thursday, July 23, 2009 - Virginia-style Jambalaya!

I made a delicious gazpacho last week and I had about 4 cups of it left over. What to do with it? The farmers market had some beautiful tiny okra, so I decided on a sorta Virginia-style Jambalaya. Add some spicy sausage,rice, shrimp, bay scallops, the leftover gazpacho, a can of V-8 and some spices and water! The family loved it, it was a one-pot meal, and it was on the table in 45 minutes! I have to warn you that I am a throw-it-together sort of cook, so I am NOT going to give you the gazpacho recipe (this time) but if you know (or can find out - hey-what is the internet for, anyway!?), then here is the (sorta) recipe:


Thursday night Virginia Jambalaya


2 small andouille sausages, diced


3/4 lb. medium shrimp, shelled and deveined (frozen is okay)


1/2 lb. bay scallops (optional)


4 cups gazpacho


1 cup long grain, basmati, or arborio rice


1 to 1 1/2 cups water


1 tsp smoked paprika


1 tsp hot paprika
