Very tasty dish. I used pancetta instead of ham. I also had a bit of an issue with the water to rice ratio; mine was a bit dry so I added more chicken stock then it became to moist. Despite that little bump the flavor was good. will make again most likly with a different rice grain.

A great one-pot meal. Have made this many times - each time changing it just a little depending on what ingredients I have had on hand. Have substituted smoked sausage for the ham, sometimes pancetta - tossed in leftover cooked chicken, sometimes a can (or two of chopped chilies, a can of rinsed black beans... the recipe as is works for my kids but my husband has to add Tabasco to increase the heat factor to his liking - so if I'm making it for him I add extra cayenne and some ground chipolte.
Don't overcook it - the rice will get gummy - this isn't one to let sit like a soup - when it's ready eat it! Adding the shrimp in the last 5 minutes or so if plenty of time to get them cooked without overcooking them - sometimes I dust them in spice before adding them to the pot for some extra kick.
A good recipe as is but also allows for plenty of substitution depending on your personal tastes.

Very delicious and very easy to make! I followed the recipe to the letter and it delivers! The pepper sauce is optional cuz the recipe itself is already piquant as is. Just keep an eye on it cuz the rice might burn easily. I say 10 minutes is too long other than that, this is one delicious meal! Thanks, Ellie!

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!

I have made this dish 6 or more times!! Our family LOVES it! It is one of my go to recipes!! It is easy, good for you and delicious! I do make ONE change which I think is a MUST. I do NOT add the rice into the dish. I cook the rice seperately and serve the shrimp, ham, tomatoes OVER the rice. I found the rice to be gummy when incorporated in the cooking of the dish!!

I made this for dinner tonight and it was wonderful...and very easy. I used andouille sausage instead of the ham since I had some in the freezer. Thanks Ellie...this is a keeper!
