How to make Jambalaya

Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Once hot, add the onions along with the celery and bell peppers. Then, season with salt and pepper. Saute for about 4 minutes until just tender. Next, add the garlic and continue to cook for another minute.

Step 2: Add the chicken to the pot along with the sweet paprika and oregano. Cook for additional 5 minutes or until all sides of the chicken are brown.

Step 3: Add the prepared sausage and tomato paste. Stir and cook for a minute more.

Step 4: Pour in the chicken broth and add the crushed tomatoes, rice, and Cajun seasoning. Bring everything to a boil. Once boiling, adjust the heat to medium-low and put the lid on.

Step 5: Cook further until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. This takes another 20 minutes.

Step 6: Next, add the shrimp and continue to cook for additional 4 to 5 minutes or until the shrimp is pink and completely cooked.

Step 7: Take the pot off the heat when done and serve the Jambalaya immediately, garnished with some sliced green onions and dried parsley. Enjoy!
