Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons - butter
- 1 tablespoons - olive oil
- 1 cups - chopped onion
- 1/2 cups - chopped celery
- 2 cups - diced ham
- 1 cups - white or brown rice regular, not instant
- 1 cans - 14.5 oz. diced tomatoes with basil and garlic
- 2 cups - chicken broth
- 1/4 teaspoons - cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoons - Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 pounds - medium-size cooked shrimp deveined, tails removed
- - minced parsley
- - salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
In a large saute pan, heat the butter and oil. Add the onion, celery, ham and rice and saute a few minutes. Do not brown.
Add the tomatoes, chicken broth and cayenne pepper and Worcestershire sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 5-6 minutes.
Remove from heat and cool, covered, for 10 minutes. Set aside until ready to add shrimp. (The rice will continue to cook and absorb the liquids).
When ready to serve, reheat the rice mixture over medium-high heat to a simmer. If most of the liquid has been absorbed, add a little chicken broth to moisten. When the rice is tender, about 2 minutes, add the shrimp and toss to combine.
Continue cooking over medium heat until shrimp are heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Cover to keep warm.
You can heat bread or rolls while finishing the Jambalaya. I usually serve this buffet style along with salad. You can also reheat the entire dish in a 350 degree F oven, covered with foil, for about 25 minutes.
