1 cup diced celery

1 green bell pepper, cored and diced

1 cup seeded and diced tomato

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced or

2 tsp diced fresh oregano

1 tsp diced fresh thyme

2 Tbs tomato paste

6 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade

3 cups long-grain rice, rinsed

3 bay leaves

2 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

6 dashes hot sauce (optional) (recommended: Tabasco)

1/2 cup chopped scallions, divided

3/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, divided

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 lb medium shrimp, deveined (20 to 24 count)

1. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or black iron pot over medium heat,

add the kielbasa and sauté for 8 to 10 minutes, until browned. Remove the

kielbasa to a bowl, and set aside. Add the ham to the same pot and cook 8 to

10 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove to the bowl with the kielbasa, and

set aside. Add the butter, onion, celery and peppers to the same pot and

sauté for 8 to 10 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add the tomato,

garlic, jalapeno or cayenne, oregano, thyme, and tomato paste and cook until

all the vegetables and herbs are blended well. Add the stock and bring to a

rolling boil. Stir in the rice, and add the sausage, ham, bay leaves, salt,

pepper and hot sauce. Return to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer,

covered, for 20 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of the scallions, 1/4 cup of the

parsley, the lemon juice and the shrimp, and stir well. Cover the pot,

remove it from the heat and allow the jambalaya steam, for 15 minutes,

before serving.

2. Garnish with the remaining 1/4 cup scallions and 1/2 cup parsley, and a

dash of hot sauce, if desired.

Jeanne's Note: Be careful with the salt.

Yes, Curious, this will be my go to recipe for Jambalaya from now on!

It was the best I've ever tasted! I made half, with a few adjustments:

Reduced the rice to 1 Cup.
Reduced the chicken stock (broth) to 2 Cups.
Simmered shrimp shells in the broth.
Used dried herbs (adjusted the amounts).
Added the browned ham and sausage during the last 5 minutes of the rice cooking time, just layed it on top of the rice for the final 5 minutes, so the flavors wouldn't be boiled away.

Many thanks for a great recipe!
