This Southern dish is my family's favorite. They love the hearty combination of sausage, shrimp and rice. I appreciate the fact that it cooks in one pot for a marvelous meal.

  • 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth
  • 2 cups diced fully cooked ham
  • 3/4 cup uncooked long grain rice
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 pound fresh medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
