This was so good! My husband requested it, and loved it! The only thing I did different was leave out the oysters, and use converted rice instead of soaking the long-grain rice three times. I just added 1 1/2 cups of converted rice and 3 cups of water. It was so very, very good!

This recipe has way to much rice. there is so much of it you need to hunt for the shrimp and sausage. 1 cup would be plenty




easy to make and taste delicious

This jambalaya recipe calls for simple ingredients. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. It smells good and tastes even better. The only problem I had is that some rice sticks to the bottom of the pot. Overall, it's a success on my first try.




Very good!

This was quite good and easy to make, as long as you've got all your chopping done. I had to add an additional cup of water to get the rice to finish, and we left out the oysters, but otherwise followed recipe exactly. This makes a LOT! I will halve the recipe next time. Very filling and satisfying.




Tasty. Easy

One problem I had, and I am not sure why, was that after adding the rice and cooking for the amount of time indicated in the recipe, the rice was still very very firm. I had to turn the stove back on and simmer about 20 min longer. Also, I could not get andouille sausage, so used chirazzo, and had to cook it first. Still worked out fine. This recipe was very very tasty and I will make it again. But b/c of the rice issue, the consistency was not quite right. If anyone else figures this out, I would love to know.

Only two items that I take exception to. When you are cooking long grain rice you need to add twice the volume of liguid. Do not place the shrimp and oysters in the dish until the last five minutes. Cooking it as long as the recipe calls for overcooks it.
