Serves 4

Vary the Jambalaya - or enrich the shrimp one - by adding other meats, such as ham cut into large cubes, diced cooked chicken, or any type of sausage. The authentic Louisiana recipe would include andouille sausage, but you could also add slices of kielbasa, or even spicy Italian sausage. If you want to use any raw meats instead of cooked ones, brown the meat with the vegetables before adding the other ingredients.
