Spicy Jambalaya

"This recipe hit the spot for some southern-inspired cooking. Sausage, shrimp, and sweet red pepper combined with flavored rice is definitely something to rave about. I enjoy eating jambalaya, but I enjoy it even more so when there is a kick of spice to it and extra sausage. The addition of chili powder to this meal will have you wanting to make this more often than before! I prefer not to mix everything into one pot, but you are more than welcome to do that. This is just my version of Jambalaya with everything made separately and combined together, in the end. Make your rice first (feel free to use an Instant Pot). I cut my sausage into small pieces and then saute them with a red bell pepper until all of it is golden brown, and then I add red chili powder for my extra kick. Saute your shrimp with just a little cajun seasoning and top it all on the rice."
