SHRIMP AND SAUSAGE JAMBALAYA
Emiril Lagasse prepared this jambalaya on ABC's pre-game Super Bowl 2000 show

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 tablespoons chopped yellow onion

1 cup chopped green bell peppers

1/2 cup chopped celery

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cayenne

1 pound smoked sausage, cut lengthwise in half, then cut crosswise into 1³4-inch thick slices

4 bay leaves

2 cups peeled, seeded and chopped canned or fresh tomatoes

1 tablespoon chopped garlic

1 pound shrimp

2 cups long-grain white rice

5 cups chicken broth

1/2 cup chopped green onions (scallions), green part only

In a large Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add onions, peppers and celery. Season with salt and cayenne. Cook, stirring
until the vegetables are wilted, about 5 minutes.

Add sausage and cook-stir for 2 minutes. Add bay leaves, tomatoes, garlic and shrimp. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.

Add rice and cook-stir for 2 minutes.

Add the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, 25
to 30 minutes.

Stir in green onions, remove bay leaves and serve hot.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
