Heat up the season with Shrimp Jambalaya!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup chopped red onion
- 2 garlic cloves peeled and minced
- 1 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
- 3/4 cup fi nely diced celery
- 4 tbs. bacon drippings
- 3 tbs. minced parsley
- 6 oz. smoked ham cut in 3/8 inch cubes
- 1 large bay leaf; crumbled
- 1/2 tsp. crumbled leaf thyme
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt (or to taste)
- 1 can tomatoes (16 oz.)
- 1 can tomato sauce (8 oz.)
- 1 3/4 cup water
- 1 3/4 cup uncooked converted rice
- 1 1/2 lb. med. shrimp; raw, shelled, deveined
Preparation:
Set a large kettle (not iron) over moderate heat.
Saute the onion, garlic, yellow pepper and celery in
the bacon drippings for 8 to 10 minutes until they are
limp and golden. Add the parsley, ham cubes, bay
leaf, thyme and cayenne pepper. Sauteé, stirring
often, for 5 to 6 minutes. Add the salt, tomatoes
and their juice, tomato sauce and water. Simmer
uncovered for 5 minutes, breaking up any large
clumps of tomatoes. Adjust the burner heat so that
the mixture simmers gently. Stir in the rice, cover
and boil for 40 minutes. Add the shrimp, tossing the
mixture lightly to distribute them evenly. Cover the
kettle and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes longer, until
the shrimp are cooked through, the rice is done,
and almost all of the liquid has been absorbed.
Taste the jambalaya and add more cayenne pepper
and salt, if needed. Serves 6.
