How to Make Alicia's Jambalaya

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes more.
Stir in the rice, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, Cajun seasoning, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
