Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the chicken and garlic, followed by the sausage links. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is firm enough to slice, about 10 minutes. Slice the sausages into 1/2 inch thick pieces, and return to the pot.
- Puree the stewed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste in batches using a blender. Stir the tomato mixture into the pot along with the shrimp boil. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Stir in the clams, mussels, shrimp, and scallops, then simmer 30 minutes longer. Remove from the heat, and allow to stand for 15 minutes.
- While the jambalaya is cooling, bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a rolling boil; stir in the angel hair pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Serve the jambalaya over the cooked pasta.

JEN'S JAMBALAYA
My family loves a lot of flavor and spice in our food and jambalaya delivers. This is my version of a New Orleans jambalaya that's got a nice kick to it but not overly hot for those whose tongues can't handle it.

Tips:
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven: Jambalaya is a one-pot dish, so you'll need a large pot or Dutch oven to cook it in. Ideally, you want to use a pot that's at least 6 quarts in size.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your jambalaya will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful vegetables, and use a good quality smoked sausage.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When you're adding the ingredients to the pot, don't overcrowd it. If you do, the ingredients won't cook evenly.
- Cook the rice in the broth: For the best flavor, cook the rice in the broth that you used to cook the other ingredients. This will help the rice to absorb all of the delicious flavors.
- Let the jambalaya rest before serving: Once the jambalaya is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Jambalaya is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It's a great way to use up leftover rice, vegetables, and meat. And it's a perfect dish for a party or potluck. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a delicious jambalaya that everyone will love.
