BBQ jambalaya

[Joe Fountain]

I have been working on finding different uses for leftover pulled pork. The best I have found so far is making BBQ Jambalaya. I essentially do things just like a cajun jambalaya as far as the rice, bell pepper, celery , cooking time etc. In place of sausage, chicken, seafood etc I use pulled pork and in place of cajun seasoning I use dry rub. Overall it turns out pretty good but lacks just a little bit of kick to get from good to great. Anytips from someone who has made this before??

I would think using 2 meats would give it a boost of complexity. imagine pulled pork/spicy andouille. Or pulled pork and grilled shrimp. I always add the shrimp at the end anyways so they don't turn to rubber.

I'm with Julien. PP works well with andouille, shrimp - or both. Tasso is another addition I've used with PP for jambalaya

I haven't used pulled pork but I use smoked chicken, smoked sausage then shrimp at the end.
