How to make JAMBALAYA RECIPE

                         JAMBALAYA RECIPE

Jambalaya is a classic Louisiana dish that’s hearty, flavorful, and easy to make at home. To start, heat oil in a large pot and sauté onions, bell peppers, and celery until softened. Add garlic, smoked sausage slices, and chicken pieces, then season with paprika, cayenne, thyme, and bay leaves for that authentic Creole kick. 

Stir in diced tomatoes and chicken broth, bringing everything to a simmer. Add long-grain rice, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and absorbs all the flavors. For a true seafood twist, toss in shrimp during the last few minutes of cooking so they remain juicy and tender. 

Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and a splash of hot sauce if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm. This one-pot jambalaya is the perfect balance of spice, smokiness, and comfort—making it a crowd-pleaser for family dinners or gatherings.
