Instructions
- In a Dutch oven or large soup pot, heat the oil. Add the onions and sauté over medium high heat, 2-3 minutes.
- Add the celery, garlic, and pepper, and sauté an additional 3-4 minutes, until the onions are lightly golden.
- Add the ham and mix well.
- Add the tomatoes, paste, and seasonings (except the salt). Mix well.
- Add the rice and broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium low. Cover the pot and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the rice is tender. (Checking near the end of the cooking time to be sure the jambalaya doesn’t need more broth.)
- Add the shrimp and mix to combine. Cover and cook for 5 minutes more, over low heat, until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.
- Taste the jambalaya and add salt and extra cayenne powder as desired.
Notes
