  • 1/2 large red pepper, chopped (or use the whole thing!)

  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 15 ounces (1 can) diced tomatoes
  • 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder (or paprika)

How To Make jambalaya with shrimp

  • Step 1
    Heat oil. Saute sausage until lightly browned. Remove.
  • Step 2
    Add onions, celery and peppers to pan. Saute until softened. Add garlic, saute another minute.
  • Step 3
    Stir in tomatoes, seasonings and stock. Return sausage to pan. Pour rice on top. Cover, simmer for 15 minutes without opening pan. Stir. Add uncooked shrimp and cook for 5 more minutes or until shrimp is pink.
  • Step 4
    Garnish with green onion. Serve with hot sauce and sherry, if desired.
  • Step 5
    PS Substitute 3/4 to 1 lb. chicken, cut into bite side pieces, instead of shrimp. If so, saute with the sausage and add back in with sausage where indicated.
