1
Heat the oil in a large wide pot or Dutch oven with a tightfitting lid over medium heat until shimmering.
2
Add the sausage and cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over, about 6 minutes.

Do not wipe out the pot.

Add the onion, bell peppers, celery, garlic, paprika, cayenne, Old Bay, oregano, and celery salt to the pot and season with salt and pepper.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes.
7
Add the rice, tomatoes and their juices, broth, bay leaves, Worcestershire, and measured hot sauce.
8
Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
9
Cook until the flavors meld, about 5 minutes.
10
Add the reserved sausage and simmer uncovered until the vegetables have softened and the liquid has slightly reduced, about 15 minutes.
11
Arrange the shrimp in an even layer on the surface of the jambalaya, cover, and simmer until firm and just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
12
Remove from heat and stir to incorporate the shrimp.
13
Discard the bay leaves.

Taste and season with additional salt, pepper, and hot sauce as needed.
