Do all of your chopping, dicing and slicing prior to beginning cooking, and this dish is a breeze to make! Everything comes together in one pot!
Slow and low simmering
After you've got the initial sautéing and flavors built, you'll add all the liquids and rice, and cook the dish covered for close to an hour. Once its thick and homogenous and the rice is cooked through- you'll add the shrimp. Simply stir the shrimp in and cook covered on low for about 3-4 minutes.
Finishing touches and serving
Serve the jambalaya hot, with a good sprinkling of sliced green onions, and a dash of hot sauce!
