Notes
It can be difficult to tell if shrimp is fully cooked, so I like to check the internal temperature. Shrimp should be cooked to a temperature of 145°F.
Taste the jambalaya first before adding seasoning because it might not need very much salt added to it.
Garnish with parsley. This fresh herb adds a touch of sweet earthiness to it.
If you want to add in another protein or swap out one of the ingredients listed, try adding in some boneless skinless chicken thighs!
