Jambalaya With Mango (And Turkey Sausage)

Scotty — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 19:31:00 +0000

In lieu of @TyrinFord‘s #socalbbq, I took the liberty of gathering some snacks for the sharing. Amongst said snacks was none other than my Creole Crock-Pot Jambalaya, which always seems to make a big hit at every scene. And, although the cooking (and/or preparation) was just about the same as my original Jambalaya Snack Recipe, I did make a few changes while adding a little mango flare to this batch. Here, let’s get right to it!

Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.

3 Boxes Zatarain’s Jambalaya Mix
7.5 Cups Water
6 Tbs Vegetable Oil
1.5 lb Cooked Shrimp
2 Packs Smoked TURKEY Sausage
1/2 Yellow Bell Pepper (Sliced Up)
1/2 Red Bell Pepper (Sliced Up)
1/2 Orange Bell Pepper (Sliced Up)
A Few Drops Of Tabasco
A Small Pinch Of Tony Chachere’s
A Small Pinch Of Cayenne Pepper
2 Whole Mangos (Sliced Up)

Making Them Say Mmm.

First things first, toss your (7.5 cups) of water along with the (6 tablespoons) of vegetable oil into a pot and bring to a boil. And, since we doing this here jambalaya crockpot style again, go on and get your crock pot out and set it to high so that it can heat up while you wait for the water/oil mixture to come to a boil. Once the water and oil begin to boil, add them to the crock-pot and then add all of the remaining ingredients EXCEPT for the mango slices to the crockpot and close/seal the lid for about 45 minutes to an hour prior to opening again. After the 45 minutes to a hour have gone by (all the while, your kitchen smells amazing!), open up the lid on the crockpot, stir the soon-to-be-ready jambalaya around very well and close the lid for about another 45 minutes to an hour. The rest is delicious history, people. Once the jambalaya is at the consistency that you like to consume it at, turn the crockpot down, stir in the mango slices (that have been patiently waiting to join the tasty fun) and begin to dig in. Enjoy!

Mango Habanero Chicken Wings

Whether lunch, dinner, late night or whenever time snacking, there is no need to make a run for the border with this particular meal. Simply make yourself right at home and prepare for these sweet & spicy chicken wings, baked fresh in the comfort of your own kitchen. And, mind you, these may appear to be quick and easy on the ingredients but they certainly bring the noise with their intense, delicious flavor. Check it..

The Doings

15 Chicken Wings
Tiny Dash Of Salt
1 Mango (Sliced)
1 Habanero Pepper (Sliced)
3/4 Cup Honey

Doing The Doings

Drench both sides of chicken wings equally with honey then place in glassware (or oven safe container/pan) prior to tossing the mango and habanero slices all on top then pinching a small tad of salt over it. Next up, it’s 40-45 minutes of baking at 350 degrees prior to gobbling these wing snacks down in a hurry, enjoying the sweet, spicy and darn right delicious chicken wing flavor.

PS – If these here Sweet & Spicy Snacks with the habanero make you cringe in fear of HOT spice, calm yourself with, perhaps, my Watermelon Flavored Chicken or my Orange Seasoned & Stuffed Chicken, they’re both sweet and kindly gentle to the taste. Promise.

PS2 – These Sweet & Spicy Mango Habanero Chicken Wings are safe for the No Complex Carbohydrate Diet.

PS3 – If you can’t take the HEAT, (simply) get out the Scotty Snacks Tea.

Mango Tango (Smoothie)

All cliches aside, it takes two (fruits) to tango with this Scotty Snacks Mango Tango Smoothie. With fresh mango and tangerine slices, a little water (or milk should you so prefer), a couple cubes of ice and 3 scoops of my new whey protein, I blended this smoothie together, squeezed some tangerine juice on top and gulped this snack down in less than 10 minutes flat (because it was that good)!

*A little word to the wise: I personally was looking for a little extra mango flavor on this particular snacking so, I used more mango than tangerine. Always combine all ingredients appropriately to your desire and, please, enjoy!
