Jambalaya, a saute of rice, vegetables and seafood or meat, is as iconic a dish as gumbo in Louisiana. At McPhee’s Grill in California, chef-owner Ian McPhee gives the classic his own spin by using orecchiette pasta in place of rice and enriching the mixture with creme fraiche, but sticking with the traditional Cajun seafood seasoning and andouille sausage.

6 lb. boneless chicken breasts, sliced
3 lb. andouille sausage, diced
3 cups chopped green onions
3 cups chopped red bell pepper
½ cup minced fresh garlic

¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
Hot pepper sauce, as needed
6 cups chicken stock
6 cups creme fraiche
12 dozen medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
6 lb. orecchiette pasta, cooked
Chopped chives
Grated Parmesan cheese
