I got this recipe from one of those Page a Day calendars that I got from my sister in law. This looked yummy, so I wanted to try it out. I'll let you know how it is once I finally try it.
Some old-fashioned jambalaya recipes start with a pound each of pork, ham, and sausage, and finish with shrimp. lf you want to add good ham and sausage, do so at the beginning, along with the onions I suggest a total of a pound or so.
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups sliced onions
2 cups diced bell pepper, preferably red or yellow
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 cups chicken, beef, vegetable, or shrimp stock or water
2 tablespoons minced garlic
½ teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, several sprigs fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 cups peeled, seeded, and chopped tomatoes (canned are fine; drain first)
2 cups long-grain rice
2 pounds shrimp, peeled (and deveined, if you like) and cut into pieces if very large
Minced fresh parsley or cilantro leaves for garnish
Place the olive oil in a medium-to-Iarge casserole and turn the heat to medium,high. Add the onions and bell pepper, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and just begins to brown, about 10 minutes. Warm the stock in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in the garlic, cayenne, and thyme, and stir for about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and turn the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until the tomatoes begin to break up.
Stir in the rice, then the stock. Bring to a boil, turn the heat to medium, and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the liquid just about absorbed, 20 to 30 minutes.
Add the shrimp and stir. Cook 2 or 3 minutes, then raise the heat if necessary to cook off the remaining liquid. Garnish and serve.
