This was the best jambalaya I have found so far. I have made several recently, all different recipes, and this is the best. Next time, the only thing I would do differently is use tomatoes with chiles instead of plain diced tomatoes..

As Cajun food fans, this has become a fave for us! We appreciate the full, spicy flavor even diabetics can enjoy. Treat family and friends to this wonderful easy dish from the Bayou!

The only thing I did different was throw it all in a crockpot and added the shrimp last.

This really is a fantastic dish! We all can't help but gobble it up in record time. The leftovers certainly don't last very long.

Delicious! I left out the cayanne pepper to scale back on the heat.

This is the best Jambalaya I've ever made! It's easy to double the recipe and hard to stay out of while cooking it. My husband and I love it and so do my four kids.
