How to Make Jambalaya With Shrimp And Andouille Sausage

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add Andouille sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in onion, bell pepper, and celery; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Stir in rice, tomatoes, Cajun seasoning, thyme, and bay leaf. Cook for 1 minute.
  6. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
