Fiery Shrimp Jambalaya

Hope y’all had a fantastic holiday! We sure did! It was nice and quiet this year with just my little fam and some friends from out of town. We got one tree up and the outside of the house decorated for Christmas. So we were productive too. Yay us!

We are back on track for the next few weeks and I am trying to plan meals for the week.  I am I made this fiery shrimp a few months ago and this needed to happen again!

It’s a bowl of fiery goodness and a perfect cold weather comfort food. It’s simple to make and you only need one pot, my favorite! I added some chorizo and chicken, but you could easily leave that out and double the shrimp.
