Jambalaya
This recipe is taken with liberties from Paul Prudhomme. If you don't plan on laboring with shrimp shells to make a seafood stock, there are several seafood concentrate pastes on the market. I use the one from penzeys. Make sure you follow the directions for reconstitution exactly. I've found from experience that using double strength stock makes an unpalatably salty and fishy jambalaya. Of course you can also just use chicken stock if you can't find seafood.
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Prepare all ingredients before hand. This dish comes together in parts, and having everything mise en place helps. Plus you can sit back and drink some wine while it cooks. Add the spices and garlic together. Add the ham and sausage together. Add onion, celery, and bell peppers together. Add the shrimp and oysters together.
* Step 3
Melt the fat over high heat in a 6qt dutch oven. I like to use duck fat or bacon grease. But if you want to use oil you can.
