Shrimp Jambalaya

4 cloves Garlic crushed

2 Tbsp Butter

2 Cans Tomatoes (diced) undrained

1 medium Onion

1 tsp. Salt

2 C. Uncooked Rice

2 Cans (13 ¾ fluid) Vegetable broth

1 tsp. Thyme

¼ tsp. Pepper

Shrimp (as much as you like)

Vegetarian sausage precooked (this is optional but you can add as much as you like)

Over medium high heat cook garlic in margarine for 1-2 minutes.  Add remaining ingredients except shrimp and heat to a boil.  Reduce heat.  Cover and simmer 25 minutes.  Add shrimp.  Cook covered 5-10 minutes or until liquid dissolves.

***Using fresh tomatoes instead of canned gives it a lot of great flavor.  In the picture is the jambalaya made with the vegetarian sausage. My family loves this dish and we even added it to a family cookbook we did a while ago.  Such a yummy and delicious dish.  Served with a side salad and you have a complete meal.  It serves approximately 6 adults.
