Jambalaya: A mix of grilled meats and good brews

    I had a jambalaya rice mix and decided to start grilling some meats to mix in with the dish. Jambalayas are great because they have a little bit of everything to offer. I started with some Jalapeno flavored sausage, boneless chicken breast, and shrimp. The sausage I threw right on the grill. The chicken I rubbed with a little olive oil and chicken seasoning grinder from the store. The shrimp I mixed a squirt of lemon juice, sazon, paprika, chile powder, garlic powder and put them on skewers.

  All the grilled meats were grilled to perfection. All the flavors in the dish went well nicely. There was a little spice to the rice and from the Jalapeno sausage. But, the spice wasn't overpowering. I have plenty of left overs and chose to enjoy 2 different beers with this dish. Victory Prima Pils and Southampton Keller Pils. Both were summery beers, that were light in color and refreshing. For a pilsner, both beers had a nice hop kick to it as well which was unexpected but appreciated. Both beers paired really well with the grilled meat flavor and also the hops went nicely with the spice of the dish. The best thing about Jambalaya is you can expiriment and do different variations each time.
