Recipe



Step 1 - Seasonings procedure:
Combine the seasonings together. Hold on the side.

Step 2 - Jambalaya procedure:
Fry the meat (the ham and sausage) in a large saucepot over medium heat in the oil until browned and just crisp. Add the onions, celery, and green pepper to the pot and fry for five minutes, scraping any crust from the bottom of the pan.

Add the chicken breast meat to the pot, raise heat to high and cook 1 minute or until white on the outside.

Return the heat to medium, add the garlic and the seasonings (from above), cooking for 3 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan as needed.

Add the tomatoes, sauce and broth, bring to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the green onions and shrimp to the pot, simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the shrimp are white and fully cooked.

Step 3 - Optional Ingredients procedure:
Traditional jambalaya has only the rice ingredient (not the water) listed above added to the jambalaya recipe with the shrimp, the liquid brought to a boil, then the entire mass is poured into a 13 x 9 baking dish, covered and baked at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is just cooked and tender. The finished jambalaya should be very thick with some broth in it.
