Jambalaya
This recipe is taken with liberties from Paul Prudhomme. If you don't plan on laboring with shrimp shells to make a seafood stock, there are several seafood concentrate pastes on the market. I use the one from penzeys. Make sure you follow the directions for reconstitution exactly. I've found from experience that using double strength stock makes an unpalatably salty and fishy jambalaya. Of course you can also just use chicken stock if you can't find seafood.

Jambalaya is a hearty New Orleans dish that’s very colorful and versatile. You can make it with beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, crayfish, sausage, or any combination of the above!My version uses ham, sausage, and shrimp. You can make jambalaya as spicy as you wish. It can be served by itself, but also goes nicely with a side of cornbread.This recipe is modified from “The Essential Rice Cookbook.”#GlobalApron Week 22 - Ham#Cajun #Dinner #Seafood #Meat #Spicy

I thought it might be nice to come up with a tasty recipe using chorizo.The consistency of this dish will change depending on the size of the tomato you use. If the rice still seems hard after cooking, keep the lid on the pot, turn of the heat, and leave to steam for 10 minutes. On the other hand, if it seems a bit too watery, cook with the lid off after adding the green pepper. (Not to self: 20 cm Cristel pot.) Recipe by Setsubunhijiki
