Great flavor!!! I did make a major mistake.....I was having a big party and tried to make most of the dishes the day before . It worked for everything but the Jambalaya .......never, ever, make a rice dish the day before..lesson learned. I reheated int the oven and the rice turned out mushy. At least if didn't add the shrimp until reheated so they were still tender but I should have made this the day before the event. Didn't know:((((((((( I will make this again but not the day before!! Funny things is ...people still raved out it...go figure. Also.....5 timed the recipe. Used 3 packages Andouille sausage , 2 packages chicken breasts, and 2 bags of shrimp and it was perfect.

This was fantastic! I added 1 cup shredded carrots to the veggie base at the start- it was wonderful. I found that it needed more liquid during the cooking process. Every 10 minutes I checked the rice and added water as needed. I ended up adding 1 cup of water in addition to the liquid in the recipe.

Absolutely delicious! A new staple in our house. So easy to make, and you can add more or less spice depending on your personal preference!
I used Cholula hot sauce because I love the smokey flavour. Also I've made it with chicken only and it's turned out great! Looking forward to making it with the full gamut of ingredients :
