Jambalaya Kebabs Recipe on 5DollarDinners.com

All the flavors of Jambalaya on a stick…yyyy’aaaaalllll! *said in my best southern LA drawl*

We’ve got shrimp. We’ve got chicken. We’ve got onions and peppers. We’ve got tomatoes. And we’ve got a whole-whole-whole lotta Cajun seasoning too!

I served this over white rice to give it a ‘complete Jambalaya feel.’

Jambalaya Kebabs

Only thing missing from these kebabs are slices of Andouille sausage…which I chose to omit to keep the costs reasonable for the meal 🙂 But feel free to add them for the meat trifecta!

Next time you’re making kebabs, I highly recommend you grill these babies up and enjoy a little Louisiana supper…Y’AAAALLLLLLLLL!
