• TIP:.
• For a more authentic Jambalaya, substitute thinly sliced andouille, a Louisiana smoked sausage, for the hot Italian sausage. Since andouille is quite strongly flavored, use only 1/2 lb. Add along with the chicken, without browning.
• Large cans of tomatoes come in 28 oz. (796 mL) and 35 oz (980 mL). In this recipe use the 28 oz. (796 mL) size. If you are using the 35 oz. (980 mL) size, drain off 1 cup liquid before adding to recipe.
• To cook shrimp, immerse shrimp, in shells, in a large pot of boiling salted water. Cook over HIGH heat, until the shells turn pink, about 2 to 3 minutes. Allow to cool, then peel and devein.
