1. Make a shrimp stock by placing the shrimp shells in a medium saucepan with the chicken broth or water. Bring to a boil then lower the heat until the liquid is gently simmering. Simmer 20 minutes then strain the liquid, reserving it. Discard the shrimp shells.
2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large Dutch or heavy-based pot. Add the sausage and brown on both sides, 3-4 minutes. Add the onion, peppers and celery and season them with salt and pepper. Cook 5-6 minutes until they start to soften and then stir in the garlic and tomato paste. Cook another 2 minutes, then add the bay leaf, thyme, oregano, cayenne and Tabasco. Stir in the tomatoes along with their juices and the rice.
3. Pour the chicken broth into a measuring cup and if needed, add enough water so that you have 3 cups of liquid. Add the liquid to the pot and stir to combine all the ingredients well. Taste the liquid and season it with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the liquid to a boil, then lower to a simmer, cover the pot and cook until rice is just cooked through, about 50-55 minutes. Stir in the shrimp, lemon juice and half the scallions. Cover the pot and cook another 7-8 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Uncover the pot and cook another few minutes until any extra water is evaporated.
4. Garnish jambalaya with reserved scallions before serving. Serve with hot sauce on the side if desired.
