SHRIMP AND HAM CREOLE JAMBALAYA

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or large soup pot, heat the oil. Add the onions and sauté over medium high heat, 2-3 minutes.

• Reduce the heat to medium low. Cover the pot and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the rice is tender. (Checking near the end of the cooking time to be sure the jambalaya doesn't need more broth.)
• Add the shrimp and mix to combine. Cover and cook for 5 minutes more, over low heat, until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.
• Taste the jambalaya and add salt and extra cayenne powder as desired.
