Ingredients:
parchment paper
cooking spray
2 cups cooked white rice
1 1/2 teaspoons gumbo file powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 green onion, sliced
4 fresh okra, chopped (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
1/2 pound crawfish, thawed if frozen
1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 pound andouille sausage, sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup chicken broth
16 littleneck clams
Directions:
1. Spray four 10x20-inch sheets of parchment paper with cooking spray.
2. Mix cooked rice, file powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cumin in a bowl. Divide rice mixture evenly over prepared parchment paper.
3. Toss tomatoes, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, green onion, and okra in a large bowl with 1 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning until well coated. Divide vegetable mixture evenly over rice.
4. Combine crawfish, shrimp, andouille sausage, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cumin in another bowl. Divide seafood mixture evenly over vegetables. Pour about 1 tablespoon chicken broth over seafood mixture and top each portion with 4 clams.
5. Fold parchment paper around seafood mixture, sealing edges to form a pouch. Place the pouches on a microwave-safe platter.
6. Heat pouches in microwave on high until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 4 minutes.
