Flavorful Sausage and Shrimp Jambalaya

"There are many variations of this Creole classic, but this Flavorful Sausage and Shrimp Jambalaya version is a favorite jambalaya recipe. While true jambalaya is really more of a thicker rice stew than a soup, it's one of those dishes that more stock can be added to easily make it into a soup recipe. Serve garnished with green onion."
