Shrimp give off a good bit of liquid so keep that in mind. 1lb of shrimp probably has a 1/2 cup of water if I had to guess.

My dads go to jambalaya was shrimp and salt meat with a can of rotel. Probably one of n my favorites too.

Shrimp jambalaya has to have tomatoes in it

is this true? If so, how does one incorporate them?

I was thinking of making a shrimp/scallop jambalaya for a lent supper. Was going to use most of my normal recipe, but use a yellow or red bell pepper with the onions, sear the seafood very briefly like I would normally do the pork, then set aside. Use seafood stock instead of chicken. Add the seafood back at the very end?

That's how I would do it.

Not necessarily. If you don't like tomatoes in a jamb, don't put them. I never did care for the notion that there's one set way to cook any given dish. You like to microwave your steaks? Go ahead man. It's your food, not mine.

Alot of people will incorporate the tomato via Rotel. I've seen crushed San Marzano's added. A small can of a good tomato sauce. People do all kinds of stuff. All of this is usually done after your trinity is cooked down.

I think I will try this. Could not find seafood stock at lunch and didn't know about the BTB until just now, so I bought one of those packs of tiny dehydrated shrimp.

Ok so, it was good . It wasn't great. I think the whole concept fails a bit due to the fragility of seafood. You just can't make a good gratin(or whatever your region calls fond) with shrimp or scallops. I also don't think I liked the tomato aspect.

I don't like a strong seafood stock to flavor the jambalaya. I'd use half seafood and half chicken stock, me.

I get that, but chicken isn't an option tonight. I had no problem with the stock aspect.
