This hearty, satisfying dinner has all the flavors of an authentic jambalaya with little effort. The foil packets can be prepared a day ahead and cooked right before serving. These are also good on the grill! —Allison Stroud, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Test Kitchen tips
  • Make sure to use instant rice. If you use long grain or converted rice, the shrimp will be done long before the rice.
  • Wear oven mitts when opening the packets to protect hands from escaping steam.
