Jambalaya Recipe Directions
I typically make this jambalaya recipe in a large pot.
1. Saute Ingredients
After cutting up the ingredients, you will saute the onion, Pablano pepper, garlic clove, and spices in the melted butter (or margarine).
Saute them until they are soft.
2. Add more ingredients
After you are done sauteing, you will add the chicken broth.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients
Thaw out the frozen shrimp, and add it to the pot along with the rest of the ingredients.
Simmer jambalaya for 30 minutes.
Remove bay leaf before serving!
4. Serve!
