Instructions
- Heat oil over medium heat in a large dutch oven. Add the cut sausage and chicken meat to the dutch oven and fry until lightly seared, about 5 minutes.
- Add the onion, bell peppers, and celery and cook until the onion is soft.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the tomatoes, paprika, salt, cumin, oregano, basil, thyme, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir well.
- Stir in the white rice and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil. Then reduce the heat to medium low, cover, and allow to simmer until the rice is just cooked (about 20 minutes), stirring every few minutes.
- Stir in the shrimp, cover again, and allow to simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked (depending on the size of your shrimp).
Notes
- Celery is optional. It is a common ingredient in jambalaya but I have read lots of comments from readers that many people like it left out!
