    • 1 large onion, diced
    • 1 green bell pepper, diced
    • 2 stalks celery, diced
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
    • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    • 3 cups long grain white rice
    • 3 1/2 cups chicken broth
    • 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
    • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

    Method

    • To make Shrimp Jambalaya, begin by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

    • Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic and sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

    • Add the oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper and stir to combine.

    • Next, add the rice and stir to coat with the spices and vegetables.

    • Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes.

    • Once the rice is cooked, add the shrimp and sausage and stir to combine. Cover the pot and simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the shrimp is cooked through.

    • Finally, stir in the chopped parsley and season with salt to taste. 

    • Serve the jambalaya hot.
