Preparation:

  • Heat 2 tbs olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add celery, onion, bell peppers, jalapeno (optional), okra and garlic. Cook until the onions are clarified about 5 minutes, Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and chicken, stir occasionally for about 5 minutes or until fully cooked.
  • Add the chicken stock, crushed tomatoes and rice, Cook on minimum for 25 minutes or until the rice is cooked, stirring occasionally. 5 minutes before the rice is done add in the shrimp. When the shrimp is pink remove from heat.
  • If you cannot find Okra fresh in your grocery store look in the International Isle for canned. Rinse well before cooking.
  • Andouille Sausage is preferred for an authentic Jambalaya, I used Chorizo because it is readily available.
