Method

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions, peppers, celery and garlic and saute for 5 to 6 minutes or until vegetables are soft. Add sausage and saute 2 to 3 minutes or until browned. Add remaining ingredients except shrimp and cook for 5 more minutes. Add uncooked shrimp and cook for 5 minutes or until shrimp is pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and serve warm with extra hot sauce.

 

Notes: This jambalaya is packed full of veggies, lean sausage, shrimp, and heart-healthy brown rice. The best part is that is tastes just as good as traditional jambalaya recipes.
