Niceeeeee!
Question, can I smoke my own sausage ahead of time and use it for the meal? Guessing yes but wanted to make sure. 
If you treat it as prepared smoked sausage, yes. If you mention the cooking process and smoking as part of the recipe, no, that is not a one pot meal.
Example
Ingredients: Smoked sausage (mine was homemade but any will do)
YES
Ingredients: Sausage
Cooking methods: Smoker, Stock Pot
NO
ONE POT is the only cooking method.
Semantics, really, but example 1 implies people can buy smoked sausage and make your one pot meal.
Write it as if you were writing a one pot recipe. Smoke your sausage whenever, since it's an ingredient.

So the same would apply for steamed shrimp?The Hot Pepper said:
Not really. You can buy smoked sausage in the market as a retail packaged food. Like Spam. The voters will decide if it's cheating.
Ingredients:
Hillshire Farms Smoked Sausage
Smoked Sausage
Same thing.
Use one pot for all cooking.
Let's not try to work around the idea of a one pot meal, it defeats the purpose. This is a challenge.

Hmmm. Jambalaya would fall into a 1 pot meal. Just wish I knew how to cook one properly!
Yes, yes it would.
I can cook in one pot without an issue but there are certain proteins that should be added last minute and should be prepared ahead of time. I will use my jedi mind tricks...The Hot Pepper said:Not really. You can buy smoked sausage in the market as a retail packaged food. Like Spam. The voters will decide if it's cheating.

Hahahaha, where did you dig that up from?
Click the arrow in the right.
Comedy gold, like an old Seinfeld episode you forgot about Yes shrimp take 4 minutes max but if you want to leave the heads and shell on to make a sauce that technique does not work. I am creative and may or may not cook, depends on daddy daycare dutiesgeeme said:

We prearranged that whole oven rib 'thang to punk THP.

He actually LIKED all that sheeit!
He refused to take the bait even when PF posted crock pot bbq ribs.
Comedy gold it was.
I carefully reviewed every entry in that 1-pot meal topic and I can say a few things with absolute certainty:
1. I will be attempting to make at least all of those at some point. Wow. Great recipes and thank you to those who put the amount of detail in - makes it much easier to replicate.
2. I would eat every single one of those dishes, even the one with mushrooms. They all looked amazing.
3. This may well be the most difficult one for me to vote on since I've been a member here. Very impressive, everyone.
