    I read the reviews and doubled the broth/water. I must have stirred my rice too much because it was mushy, but the flavor was good.I did triple soak too. I used shrimp only but put them in at the last 8 min. while it sat. They were cooked perfectly. I also added chopped fresh cilantro at the end which turned out. Not bad, but I will only use 1/1 ratio on the rice to liquid next time...

    As many testified, I also saw that there was too much rice in recipe so I cut it to 1 cup, still had to keep adding water to keep from sticking. Don't understand one comment that there was too much thyme, as recipe didn't call for it at all. My vote would be after this many comments on the same issues, Food Ntwk would post a recipe alteration, but perhaps they aren't geared for that. All in all, it was an ok Jambalaya, but nothing I'd do again. OHH! Very important! DO NOT ADD shrimp when recipe calls for it or you will have rubber shrimp---do as previous reviewer suggested, add during last 5 minutes of cooking.

    I cut the rice down to 1 1/2 cups. It still needs a little more liquid, but this is very tasty! I left out the oysters as well.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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 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.
