When I say Creole Cuisine, you might think of eating wax crayons. Shame on you. Lime green doesn't taste of anything. I learned that waaaay back. In art college.

I'm making SEAFOOD Jambalaya, using a pre-cooked seafood mix, the leftover halves of that sweet pepper, courgette, and a carrot I found in the bottom of the fridge. Fridge-scrapings you say? Nutritious!

Pro tips on adding spices: uuuuuuuuuhhhhh... remove lid. Use. |
I put vegetable and toasted sesame oil in my wok, and tossed in all the vegetables and a heavy sprinkling of each of these spices.

I also added in some chopped up sun dried tomatoes and garlic, and a big squirt of ketchup.

When the vegetables were fried enough, I added the rice and stock to boil the rice in, and the frozen seafood. Look at that big block of frozen crud. Hehehe.

Just splat it on there, nobody has any expectations of you. |
Post-mortem: ***** SO GOOD. Would have been awesomer with risotto rice probably, but still great. Just a hot spicey pile of goodness.
