I made this just like the recipe with no substitutions. It is absolutely amazing. I have never had Jambalaya before but thought this was so good that I could almost picture myself eating in New Orleans.

Super easy and super yummy. Not a big fan of shrimp so I substitute chicken instead. =)

I never comment on these things, but I had to for this recipe. This was AMAZING! So easy to make and full of flavor! We like heat, so I added crushed red pepper flakes and extra hot sauce. Will definitely be making this again! Thank you so much!

I'm not normally a big fan of jambalaya, but this was really good. Mine looks much drier than the picture so before we actually dig in I'll probably add more liquid. Outside of chicken instead of shrimp I followed the recipe and had fun making it. Thanks for posting it!

This recipe is by far one of the best I have made in a long time! I made this in a dutch oven and it worked great and used a 14.5 oz can of broth and that seemed about perfect.

YUM! Didn't have andouille so I pre-cooked some sweet italian sausages and used them along with some cheddar/turkey sausages I had in the freezer. Went heavy on the Creole and the hot pepper sauce and it was awesome! I added another splash of beef broth before the last 15 min. of covered cooking time. The rice cooked perfectly without being mushy or crisp.
