How To Make jambalaya with shrimp

    Heat oil. Saute sausage until lightly browned. Remove.
  • 2
    Add onions, celery and peppers to pan. Saute until softened. Add garlic, saute another minute.
  • 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.
