Jumpin Jambalaya!!! My favorite!! 

 

Also New Orleans Crab Dip is to die for! 

 

I went to Party America and bought some Mardi Gras beads and coins and had people ask me questions all through the party.  They got coins when they asked a question about products and such and got beads when they asked a question about my job. 

 

I also had everyone help me with the demo.  They all had a blast!  I might even have the steps for the Jumpin Jambalya in a file somewhere...I'll have to check.

 

I'll open up Mardi Gras Central for ya so you can get some ideas!

YOU'RE AWESOME Michelle --- THANK YOU!!! And if you have the recipe or know where I can get it that would be helpful

Here's the Jumpin Jambalaya and here's the New Orleans Crab Dip.

 

Both were in the docs under Recipes.

thank you - but 2 questions

 

1. do you think instead of the deep dish stone I could use the Deep Cover Baker?

2. I don't have the cajun spice -- would any cajun spice work??

I didn't do any of it in the oven truthfully!  I did the entire thing on the stovetop!  I used (most of) the ingredients only changed the method a bit.  But I'm sure you could do it in the baker.

 

I just realized that it doesn't even call for chicken but I added it anyway!  I love chicken in my Jambalaya!  I cooked the chicken ahead of time because chicken is messy and I didn't want to inadvertantly spread anything from cross contamination.  I'm a big scaredy cat when it comes to cooking chicken.  Wash wash wash and wash again! lol!

 

I bought precooked shrimp that come in the freezer section.

 

I also used Minute Rice to speed things up and made that in the microwave in the Rice Cooker Plus.  But I suppose you could do any rice in the rice cooker.

 

I threw everything into the classic batter bowl as the sausage was cooking.  I cooked the sausage in the Professional Casserole on the stovetop and then threw in the shrimp and cooked chicken.  Then I threw in the contents of the BB and the rice all in the casserole. 

 

The show I did it at was when we were doing the cookware promo - sell cookware get some free.  So I wanted a way to keep with the Mardi Gras theme and use cookware.  The Jambalaya I cook at home (other recipes) are all done on the stovetop so I figured I could do this on that way too.  It works out great!  Especially in the summer!

 

Oh and yes just use any cajun seasoning for the crab spread.  I think I use McCormick.  PC hasn't carried a cajun seasoning since I've been selling.

 

Clear as mud?
