FINALLYWROTEITDOWN CHICKEN, SAUSAGE AND SHRIMP JAMBALAYA
I've been making a kind of freestyle jambalaya for years; as the title says, I've finally written down a basic recipe for my creation. But don't let it end here; jambalaya is a dish that you can truly play around with. You could also add bell pepper at the point where you cook the onions and garlic (part of the holy Cajun trinity but I don't like cooked green pepper so I sacreligiously omit it); or use andouille sausage or add cubed pork or ham to the dish. My only real contingency is that you don't use beef, though... no place for that in jambalaya, IMHO. And as much as I love tomatoes, I do not care for them in my jambalaya, either.

Steps:
- In a large pot or dutch oven, over medium heat, render the bacon. Set on paper towels to drain. Remove excess grease, leaving 2 tablespoons in pan. Add andouille sausages to pan & cook until browned. Take out & drain on paper towels. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned. Remove all the meat to a bowl. Add the onions and cook for about 15 minutes, until beginning to caramelize. Add the bell peppers, jalapenos and garlic to the pot and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the meat back to the pot. Stir in the rice, thyme, bay leaves, paprika, cayenne, one teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of freshly ground pepper. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until spices are evenly distributed. Turn the heat up to medium high and add the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and stir into the rice. Put the lid back on the pot, turn off the heat, and leave to sit for another 10 minutes. The heat inside the pot will cook the shrimp. Remove the lid, fluff with a fork, and serve
CHEF JOHN'S SAUSAGE & SHRIMP JAMBALAYA
While true jambalaya is really more of a thicker rice stew than a soup, it's one of those dishes that more stock can be added to easily make it into a soup recipe. Serve garnished with green onion.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your jambalaya taste its best. Look for plump, juicy shrimp, andouille sausage with a good snap, and fresh vegetables.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the ingredients won't cook evenly and the jambalaya will be soupy. Cook the ingredients in batches if necessary.
- Season the dish well: Jambalaya is a flavorful dish, so don't be afraid to season it well. Use a combination of Creole seasoning, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Let the jambalaya rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the rice to absorb the sauce.
