I have been making this recipe for a couple years now and it is a great starter. Once you make it, you can add or subtract heat by using different peppers or pepper spice. I have used different sausages in it too-depending on what I have on hand. Luguica, polish, hungarian and italian-but andouille is standard. I also prefer to make the rice separately and serve the jambalaya over it. As with most recipes of this type, it is better the next day and freezes well-it you have any leftovers. My family always requests this if we are having a potluck.
Perfect!

I'm a forty-five year experienced cook, and I have to say this simple-to-prepare dish is as good as anything that involves more complicated prep. My family loves it. Perfect for winter football and basketball games dinners, any entertaining when you're looking for something easy to please a crowd. I have to admit I have several of Rachel's recipes that I love. Thanks.
AWESOME EATS!

I have made this recipe several times and have had great results. Everyone loves it! I travel for a living and recently returned to LA for a nights stay. I had jambalaya at a local restaurant and found it to be so dry that i asked for a to go box just so I could throw it out. I couldnt wait to get home and make this recipe for myself and fiance. Its so fast and easy. And the flavor is unbeatable! Thanks!

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. The only thing I would do differently next time is to add the rice in and let everything simmer together to give the rice some more flavor. Although the ice-cream scoop rice did make for a nice presentation, I am more about the taste than the look of the dish. I also did not add the shrimp in as one of our dinner guests is allergic and it still tasted great. I would definitely make this again! Thanks Rach!
Easy, Delicious !!! Try it!!

We have this jambalaya at least twice a month. I love it. Don't forget the scallions, thyme and dash of salt at the end. It makes the dish!! I use regular polish kielbaska or summer sausage instead of the spicy sausage. Absolutely delish!!!
Mmmmm.. Jambalaya.........

This recipe is AWESOME!!! I have been trying to make this dish for weeks and finally go to it last night. The only change I made was to Emeril-ize the diced chicken and put Essence on the chunks and let it sit for few hours. I also found that getting that sear on the chicken and andouille is quite importantfor that great flavor. With 3 healthy appetities that had 2 servings each, we couldn't finish it off and 1 good sized portion was left. Great recipe Rach!!!
Simple and delicious

I had never made anything like a jambalaya before in my 50+ years and I was glad I tried. I made it for my kids on Family Dinner day and it scored very high points. Of course I had not made it quite hot enough for them so I set a bottle of hot sauce on the table and they devoured the whole thing. I should have doubled up and had some leftovers. Thumbs up for Rachael.
A good Jambalya recipe but made some changes

User: Robert from Libertyville, IL User Rating:
I like this basic recipe but made several changes which I felt improved it. First I think the recipe calls for way too much poultry seasoning; 1 teaspoon overpowers the other flavors. I cut the poultry seasoning back to 1/2 teaspoon. I also felt the recipe needed minced garlic and dried red pepper. I tend to like my rice cooked into the jambalaya rather than served as white rice -- so I doubled the amount of chicen broth and added the two cups of uncooked rice into the stew once I brought the broth/stew to a boil. I covered it and let is simmer on low for about 20 minutes.
Full and hearty, multiflavor delight.

This dish was easy and had a vast array of flavors. It had just the right thickness with a very consistant sauce. Word of note, pay attention to the large deep skillet. I found my cast iron chicken fryer perfect for this. It will need large and deep. all around this recipe was excelant and will go into my weekday menu rotation.
Everything was great!

I first tried this recipe last year for both my family's thankgiving dinner AND my boyfriend's family thanksgiving dinner. Everyone loved the jambalaya and I got a lot of compliments for it. It's very hearty and has such a grate flavor profile with all the different spices. The best part is, the recipe is very easy. Once you chop up all the ingredients, you pretty much just throw them all in the pot and let it stew. Because the recipe's so simple, I've used it enough times that I have it completely memorized. It's perfect for dinners during the week, I usually cut the recipe in half for just one meal, but sometimes I make a big pot so there's enough leftovers for lunch the next day. Also a great choice for potluck dinners!
WOW! SPECTACULAR!

If 6 stars was a choice, I'd give it 7. really good. Not too spicy but you can make it that way or put Tabasco on the table. Don't like green bells so used red and made a nice color contrast. Most of us have everything in the pantry except the protein and maybe the pepper. Mise en place (French--loose translation is everything prepared before you start-everything in it's place) is easy with this and you can prepare the night before or the morning of and buy the protein on your way home and have it done in a very short time. Already planning a dinner party around this. Rachael's Dad was a lucky man.

Once I chopped all of the ingredients (which takes 30 minutes itself) I made the recipe in a reasonable amount of time. I prefer a bit more of a spicy taste, so I added 1 jalapeno, but it could have been even spicer. This was good the night I served it, but the leftovers weren't very appetizing. (There are only 2 people in my house, next time I'll halve the recipe.) I love Rachel's style and the simplicity of her recipies. This was good, but not my favorite.

Being from the Midwest and transplanted in FL, I am new to this Cajun cooking thing. I have to say, considering the ease of preparation, the fast cooking time, and the outstanding flavor, this recipe is wonderful. This will surely become a regular for us, and a meal to serve to guests for a casual dinner. Another bonus: you spoon the mixture over the rice. That way, I can opt out of the rice for a lower carb version while my husband enjoys it the traditional way. Thanks, Rachael. Excellent creation!

This is honestly the best Jambalaya I've made. To make it less soupy, add a bit more flour, also make sure to use diced chicken thighs, not breast as the breast will become too dry and rubbery. Awesome!

This was excellent and full of flavor. I used andouille flavored chicken sausage to make it a little healtier and it was a perfect substitute. The prep is easy and the result is a hearty, flavorful & nutritious meal with some great flavor. If you love spicy food like I do, you can adjust the seasonings and spice to your liking. I'll be making this dish regularly.

I've been making this for a couple of years now and it gets better and better. Easy for a crowd, guests just love it. Make it in a large pan than switch to a crockpot, I have made a few adjustments(don't have a pepper, use roasted red peppers in a jar-add much later on). I use Jasmine sticky rice and place it in the bottom of the bowl or mug. Also I love to add mushrooms. This time I used chorizo (didn't have the andouille). Oh, also this time I used an already cooked and cut up deli chicken. Definitley try this one!!!!!

I look for jambalaya recipe after I ate it at California Pizza Kitchen. I know they might not have the original taste too so I don't really know the original taste of jambalaya. I did some modification to this recipe and still come out great! Though my husband didn't really fond of the dish that I made because it too spicy, but I looooveee it despite the originality of the real jambalaya taste! I made it the day after thanks giving so I used cooked turkey, cooked chicken, hot sausage, & shrimp & fish meatballs. I made alot and shared it with my neighbour & they love it too.

Wow! My family loves this. I used to make my aunt's recipe (it took hours!) - - this one is so much easier. I do leave out the Worcestershire sauce and shrimp (I'm highly allergic to any form of seafood), but it's quickly become a family favorite. We live in South East Texas (about 75 miles below Houston), and when the first really cold spell comes through I recieve calls from my son and daughter (and the in-laws and grandkids) - - all wanting to know when the jambalaya will be ready! This dish is easy to prepare, easy to extend (just add more tomatoes, broth and a couple of extra chicken tenderloins and another link of sausage) and freezes well!

I've been making this since the episode first aired several years ago. It's devoured at my house atleast once a month. I add a little extra heat to it by sauteeing a chopped serrano pepper with the veggies. We never eat this recipe with out cornbread. I know french bread is traditional, but the sweetness of cornbread is a way better contrast to the spices. My husband and I dont have kids yet, so 1x recipe is A LOT of food, however, it freezes really well and it's so nice to have a dinner waiting in the freezer on a rainy work night when youre too pooped to cook.

Not only was this recipe easy to follow but it was even easier to make! I took a little extra time peeling all of the shrimp because I could not find raw shrimp that were already peeled, but it only added about 10 minutes of prep time and was well worth it! All of the ingredients and spices in this dish make it incredibly flavorful and cooking time from start to finish is only about 25 minutes! I will make this again and again especially when I have people over!

I used what I had on hand - chicken breast and chicken pablano sausage, I didn't happen to have shrimp on hand... Was still really good. My two year old loved it, but my five year old didn't... To Mais Cher --I've never taken Rachael for a food snob, which you obviously are. In case you missed it this is a --30-- minute meal, hence the rice is cook separately to save time. I'll give you that jambalya traditionally does have rice cooked IN it, but I haven't seen an etouffe that didn't start with a ruoux, which this doesn't. Now, I did grow up in Texas, but my grandma grew up in Baton Rouge and I spent many childhood days stirring gumbo and jambalaya - and even etouffe, which is Grandma's favorite! So - call this dish what YOU want, I will just call it YUMMO!

I found this recipe in Ray's "Comfort Foods" cookbook. Although it took me 30 minutes just to pull the shells and tails off the shrimp, this recipe is fantastic. Full of flavor and simple to prepare. The only difference I saw in the recipes was that in the cookbook, Racheal has 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning instead of the poultry seasoning listed here. I prefer the Old Bay as I think it gives the dish even more of a zing. This is a keeper.

absolutely delicious, and pretty easy.. .although I think longer than 30 minutes. I used jalapenos (vs. green pepper) and added mushrooms and carrots. YUM YUM YUM.

I made this last night for me and my boyfriend and we both loved it. Way to go Rachel. It had just the right amount of spice to give it a nice kick, but not to hot to burn your mouth. He told me I can make this one again and again! Definitely a winner.

This is the greatest recipe ever. I have used this to feed hunters, the family the day after Christmas with the turkey dinner leftovers, and even entered it with some variations in a wild game contest. The family loves it and it is so easy to do.
I guarantee you'll love it!

I thought this was a great recipe - authentic tasting and easy. I let mine simmer a little but not sure that's necessary. I sliced some of my andouille without peeling. I would recommend this recipe!!!
Wonderful!

First time making jambalaya and you can count on me making this recipe time and again now! Had neighbors over for dinner and everybody loved it. Couldn't find andouille, so I used chorizo and I also added a diced jalapeno. Can't wait to eat the leftovers for lunch today!
Awesome ......

My husband grew up near New Orleans in his younger years - he loves Cajun food. In the past I had made Jambalya the long drawn out way, and dreaded Super Bowl Sunday - because he always wanted this. I tried this recipe this year, and although he knew it was different, he loved it ****. I did too, for it's taste, and simplicity. I give it 5 *****'s. Cheers to Rachael.

My Son introduced me to this and since then I have made it 3 times. Each time with varying degrees of "spiciness". I use Texmati brown rice instead of white which just adds to the flavor. One of the most delicious meals I have ever tasted.
WOW... what a treat!

This was my first time trying Jambalaya for my Southern in-laws. It was a huge hit and I have made it for my side of the family now as well. I like to cook it a little longer to really blend the flavors and I added carrots, red peppers and zuccini to it to add even more colors. Everyone has asked for my new Favorite Recipe. Thanks Rachel

I love this recipe - fast and easy with tons of flavor. I did change one thing - used extra large shrimp, marinated 30 minutes in olive oil and garlic, salted and peppered and thrown on the BBQ grill on high, seared both sides and thrown into the jambalaya to finish cooking for 2 minutes. Yummmm.

I've been looking for a good jambalaya recipe and this is it. I did make some slight changes to the recipe though such as I cooked the rice and then added it to the pot after the shrimp and added the flour at that time... took the soupy-ness away. I also cut down on the onion, bell pepper, and celery as my husband isn't a big fan of any of these items... he really like the jambalaya the way I made it. Spices were perfect -- very flavorful

We've never had jambalaya before so we didn't have anything to compare it to. Nevertheless, my family loved it. I can't seem to find andouille sausage here so I substituted with Italian sausage (I think it made it less soupy).
