    Delicious and easy to make! I also like knowing the nutritional information so I can convert this recipe into WW points.

    I am a big fan of Ellie Krieger. This recipe was much easier than I expected. I changed two things : Used farro instead of rice b/c I had it on hand and I like it better, also used chicken andouille sausage sliced instead of ham. It was the perfect amount of spicy and the consistency of the broth was not thin and runny but, thick and flavorful. I wasn't sure if the diced tomatoes were to be drained or put in as is - so I drained most of the juice out and dumped the rest in - just a little juice. I also found that the longer the dish sat the broth thickened up a little. Not in a bad way. Enjoy!

    AMAZING! I normally buy the Zataran's boxed jambalya, never going back to that again! This was absolutely delicious. I normally do not care for bell peppers at all and I went ahead and tried both red and green in this dish and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I really enjoyed their flavors. My husband and I like it spicy, so I went a little generous with the cayenne pepper, and I also used a can of ROTEL tomatoes for a little extra kick. I used some spicy sausage that I got from Costco instead of ham and used canned shredded chicken as well. Did not have any shrimp to use, but will be trying that next time!! Definitely worth making again!
