How to do

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, add the sausage and ham and cook for 3 minutes until golden brown on all sides. Remove the cooked sausage and ham to a plate, set aside.

In the same skillet, add garlic to saute until fragrant, then add pepper, onion, celery, chili powder and hot pepper flakes. Cook the mixture for 5 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent, stir occasionally.

Add the tomato sauce, cooked sausage and ham into the skillet, stir until the mixture is well combined. Then add the rice, turmeric powder, chicken broth and ½ teaspoon salt (or more if desired) into the skillet, stir well. Cook until the liquid comes to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet with a tight fitting lid and simmer the mixture about 20 minutes.

Add the shrimp to the skillet, stir well. Continue covering the skillet and cook for 3 – 5 minutes more.

Remove the skillet from heat. Gently stir the jambalaya to serve warm.
