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 :

The recipe was delicious, but why is it called Cajun Jambalaya if it uses Creole spices? And only Creole jambalaya has tomatoes in it, Cajun jambalaya doesn't.
So the meal is yummy, but some of the info is a little wonky.

Delicious recipe with approving nods around the dining table. I doubled the recipe to accommodate 5 people but next time would hold off on the Rice, 1 -1 1/4 cups would suffice not 1 1/2 cups. Also would "kick up" the spice amount. Great flavor!

This recipe was so easy and delicious. I made this dish with Amy's chicken sausage and shrimp. This dish would be great for a buffet or pot luck. It's interesting, a bit different and has just a bit of spice.
Will be making often!

Great basic recipe. I just always add extra garlic and heat. I've made this with several different proteins.

Flipping AMAZING!!! I did have to make a couple adjustments (since I had only brown rice so had to add a bit of extra liquid/spices for a longer cooking time, and doubled the recipe. And actually, mine ended up brothy at the end, but I'm glad it did----the broth is so incredibly flavorful. Make this recipe, even small adjustments will turn out okay because the flavor is so wonderful.

I am not a huge fan of Oregano but I followed the recipe and sure enough it was too much for my taste so I will half the Oregano next time. Also, I will follow a few other reviewers suggestion by adding a can of Tomato's. I also agree with some of the reviewers regarding the saltiness, you only use a Tablespoon of the combined spices not all of it, that may be where the confusion lies. I will add more chicken and only 9 or 10 shrimp. Lastly, I used Basmati rice (forgot to rinse it too! and the three cups of broth and it turned out perfectly.

I am making this for dinner tonight! I made this recipe a few weeks ago and it was a hit even with my picky, spice averse daughter! She downed alot of water but she said it was so flavourful she loved it. It was quite simple to prepare. There was alot of extra cajun spice leftover which I have since used to season plain chicken breasts and pork chops. I used a can of diced tomatos instead of the fresh tomato and pulled out a few bowls worth of the jambalaya before putting the shrimp in at the end for my sister who has seafood allergies. It was perfect!

Love this recipe! It is so good! Everybody I've shared it with loves it too. I make some tiny changes. I add a whole can, 15 oz, of diced tomatoes with the juice and don't add but a couple drops of hot sauce, because the seasoning is already good and spicy. Because I only eat seafood meat I double up on the shrimp, but I'm sure the chicken and sausage are fantastic. Thank you Emeril!
