SHRIMP JAMBALAYA

Steps:

• Make the shrimp broth: Remove the shells and tails from the shrimp and put the shells and tails in a medium saucepan. Clean and devein the shrimp and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Add the peppercorns, the intact onion piece, large celery chunks, 3 crushed garlic cloves and 2 bay leaves to the saucepan and cover with 5 cups of water. Bring to a high simmer and then lower the heat to maintain a low simmer. Cook until the water has reduced by about a third, 20 to 30 minutes. Let the broth cool completely and then strain (you should have about 3 cups. If you have less than 3 cups, add enough water to make up the difference).
• Make the jambalaya: Heat the oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the flour and use a whisk to constantly stir until the mixture is toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the bell pepper, scallion whites, andouille, tomato paste, the chopped onion, celery and garlic, the remaining 2 bay leaves and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes (add splashes of shrimp broth or water if the mixture sticks at all). Add the rice and stir to coat.
• Pour in the remaining broth, crushed tomatoes, thyme, cayenne, half the scallion greens and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Adjust the heat to low, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Add the shrimp, cover and continue to cook until the rice is tender and the shrimp are cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove the bay leaves.
• Sprinkle the top of the jambalaya with the parsley and remaining scallion greens. Serve with hot sauce.
