Jambalaya

This recipe is my take on a timeless cajun dish from Louisiana. You can substitute the shrimp for whichever seafood you like. You could also use ham instead of sausage. But the best part of this dish is that if you’re vegetarian you could omit the sausage, the chicken, the shrimp and the chicken stock and use vegetable stock instead. It is just as delicious and flavorful with the vegetables alone.
