Notes

Be careful not to overcook your shrimp. It only takes 2 to 3 minutes per side. They're done when they're pink and C-shaped.

Stir the vegetables constantly while cooking them to prevent burning.

Add your shrimp to the jambalaya just before serving to avoid overcooking them in the hot mixture.
