Instructions

  • Empty the dehydrated seafood jambalaya dry mix contents of the zip-top bag into your cooking pot.
    1 serving dehydrated seafood jambalaya
  • Pour in enough water to cover the dry mix, then add a tad bit more.
  • Cover and let the dry ingredients hydrate in your camp cookware for at least five minutes.  Stir all of the way to the bottom now and again. Add more water if the hydrating mix gets too dry.
  • Next, on your cooking stove and over a medium flame, bring the mix to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  • After bringing the mix to a boil, turn the stove down to a low simmer for two minutes.
  • After two or more minutes of simmering and stirring, turn off the stove and move the pot into an insulated wrap or cozy to rest and hydrate for 15 to 20 minutes or more for the flavors to blend and the ingredients to fully reconstitute.
  • Finally, after the seafood jambalaya has rested for 15 to 20 minutes, add some of that optional cooking oil and stir to mix. Enjoy!

Notes

Repurpose the heavy-duty paper towels for the after-meal cleanup activities.
