Jambalaya Fried Rice

[Darren Wright]

I've made this one a couple of times now changing up the proteins each time and have added some old bay to the mix (just to taste).

I think the secret this past time was the fried rice. I bought some frozen in the steam bags and cooked it for 5 minutes in the microwave. I then put a couple of paper towels in a strainer and squeeze out as much moisture as I could, then transferred to a hot iron skillet with a table spoon of butter. I cook it a lot like hash browns and let it cook on high for about 60 seconds between stirs to brown it up.
