My husband started with a one pot jambalaya recipe which he made tomato free since I hate tomatoes. This recipe has ham and shrimp and zucchini and we really love it. It's really good with Applewood Smoked ham. Ingredients:
1 red pepper, chopped |
1 green pepper, chopped |
1 zucchini, chopped |
1 white onion, chopped |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, pressed |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) |
1/4 teaspoon oregano |
1/4 teaspoon thyme |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 bay leaf |
4 cups low sodium chicken broth |
1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) |
1 lb smoked ham, cubed |
1 lb shrimp, pre-cooked |
1 1/2 cups white rice |
1 lime, juice of |
Directions:
1. If using frozen shrimp, thaw the shrimp in a colander in your sink first.
2. Put olive oil in a large pan, then add the chopped peppers, onion and zucchini to the pan along with garlic and other spices. Add tomato paste (if using), broth, ham, lime juice, and rice to the pan. Stir together and cook on medium heat for 20 minutes.
3. Add thawed shrimp and and cook another 5 minutes.
