1/2 lb cubed ham (preferably Cure 81 or other cured ham)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
2 large bay leaves

  • Add parsley, ham, thyme and bay leaves.
  • Fry, stirring often for another 5 minutes.
  • Add pepper sauce, salt tomatoes, tomato sauce and the water.
  • Simmer for five minutes.
  • Add rice, adjusting heat so liquid boils very gently, cover and cook for 30 minutes.
  • Add shrimp to float on top (don't mix in- it's intended to steam on the top), re-cover and simmer an additional 10 minutes (depends on size of shrimp) or until shrimp are cooked, rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  • Taste for salt and pepper needed.
  • Toss lightly and serve.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients beforehand: Chop, dice, and measure all ingredients before you start cooking to make the process smoother and faster.
  • Use a large pot: Jambalaya is a hearty dish that requires a large pot to accommodate all the ingredients.
  • Cook the meat and vegetables in batches: If your pot is not large enough to cook all the meat and vegetables at once, cook them in batches. This will prevent overcrowding and ensure that everything cooks evenly.
  • Don't overcook the rice: Rice is a key ingredient in jambalaya, but it's important not to overcook it. Cook the rice according to the package directions or until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Add the liquid gradually: When adding the liquid to the pot, do so gradually and stir constantly. This will help prevent the rice from clumping together.
  • Season to taste: Jambalaya is a flavorful dish, so don't be afraid to season it to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, or cayenne pepper if desired.
