This hearty, satisfying dinner has all the flavors of an authentic jambalaya with little effort. The foil packets can be prepared a day ahead and cooked right before serving. These are also good on the grill! —Allison Stroud, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Ingredients

12 ounces fully cooked andouille sausage links, cut into 1/2-inch slices
12 ounces uncooked shrimp (31-40 per pound), peeled and deveined
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) fire-roasted diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup uncooked instant rice
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1/2 cup chicken broth

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Divide mixture among 6 greased 18x12-in. pieces of heavy-duty foil. Fold foil around mixture and crimp edges to seal, forming packets; place on a baking sheet. Bake until shrimp turn pink and rice is tender, 20-25 minutes.

Test Kitchen tips

Make sure to use instant rice. If you use long grain or converted rice, the shrimp will be done long before the rice.

Wear oven mitts when opening the packets to protect hands from escaping steam.
