Jambalaya One-Pot Meal

Directions

In a large skillet or paella pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, celery, and green pepper and sauté just until softened (about 3 minutes).

Add rice, tomatoes and their juice, the water, hot-pepper sauce, ham (if used), chorizo, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes.

Quickly add shrimp, cover, and cook 5 minutes longer, or until rice is tender and shrimp have turned pink.

Toss with a fork. Garnish with lemon and parsley.
