Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 Tbsp butter unsalted
  • 2 onion coarsely chopped
  • 2 talks celery diced
  • 2 garlic or ½ tsp garlic powder, cloves
  • ½ green bell pepper cored, seeded and diced
  • 4 c ham roughly 1 lb, diced, cooked
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) tomato un-drained, diced
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 Tbsp parsley
  • ½ tsp thyme
  • ½ -1 tsp cayenne pepper powder depending on your heat preference
  • 1 ½ c white rice dry
  • 2 ½ c chicken broth (we prefer low sodium)
  • ½ lb Shrimp shelled, raw
  • ½ -1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. In a Dutch oven or large soup pot, heat the oil. Add the onions and sauté over medium high heat, 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add the celery, garlic, and pepper, and sauté an additional 3-4 minutes, until the onions are lightly golden.
  3. Add the ham and mix well.
  4. Add the tomatoes, paste, and seasonings (except the salt). Mix well.
  5. Add the rice and broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  6. 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.)
  7. 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.
  8. Taste the jambalaya and add salt and extra cayenne powder as desired.
