Jon'S Easy Jambalaya

Put shrimp into warm water to thaw

put 2 cans chicken broth [***]

, white wine[or extra can of chicken broth], tomatoes, and salsa into crock pot, high heat

Cut Andouille sausage in half lengthwise, then slice in 1/4 inch pieces

Chop onion and celery

In skillet, medium high heat, add olive oil

Brown Andouille sausage, then dump into crock pot, saving oil

Saute Onions and celery, then dump into crock pot

Turn crock pot to low, will take about 2 hours to be simmering throughout.

In the meantime, peel shrimp, divide in half, and dump into crock pot about 1/2 hour before serving

You can add rice directly to crock pot - makes thicker jambalaya, may need to add additional chicken broth. As alternative, when shrimp have turned white, [about 1/2=>1 hour], take 2 cups of broth from crock pot, put in pot on stove, add can of chicken broth if needed, and add rice.

Heat at medium until simmering, then turn down, cover, and simmer for about 3/4 hour.

[***] for additional flavor, put shrimp shells in 1 cup water/chicken broth and simmer on stove till pink. Discard shells and add broth to crock pot.
