It was delicious, but some of the instructions were off. There's no mention of garlic in the ingredients list, so I guessed (but there's no such thing as too much garlic. The rice needs to cook longer before adding the shrimp. I used andouille sausage, which is more authentic. The recipe should suggest tasting the dish and adjusting flavors because sausage and broth differ greatly in their salt content. Adding it at the end isn't as good.

On the other hand, this was a good dish, easy to make, and goes from start to finish in an hour and a half, including prep time. It would be better if Ms. Pendleton edited the recipe, but for an experienced cook, these really aren't huge obstacles.

My family is used to eating the jambalaya boxed mix. I have nothing against it, but I decided to try to make it myself. More work, but definately worth it. My family loved it, even the picky eaters. Will definately make again! ^_^

This recipe was extremely spot on, I loved every bit of it.

I don't eat red meat, so I used Turkey kielbasa. I also used fully cooked shrimp, I simply added them 5 minutes before finishing, not 10 to 15; they turned out just fine and the froze ones put a lot of juice off, so that helped with flavor.

Unfortunately, I decided to be healthy... as usual, and used brown rice instead of white rice, which isn't really a problem with taste, but with the cook times. As said before brown rice takes about 15 minutes longer, so it will use a lot of the stock up and overcook the veggies to some extent. I highly suggest staying with the white rice the recipe calls for, or if you were to use brown rice, cook it about half way in a separate pot and add to the recipe with the times that it calls for.

As stated, the garlic amounts were not included, but I used 3 large cloves and couldn't even taste it. I think it helped add to the mash of flavors, so I wouldn't exclude it.

The only problem was in the list of ingrediants, garlic is not listed, but in the recipe directions, garlic is mentioned. I just took a guess.

The recipe has no garlic listed in the ingredients, but says to add the garlic along with the green pepper and scallion. I added 3 cloves of crushed, then minced garlic and it was wonderful.
The next time I made it, I also substituted brown rice. Brown rice requires longer cooking (I added 15 minutes before adding the shrimp and more liquid (I added a cup more of broth. Again, it was wonderful.

This recipe has been a hit every time I've made it. Not too spicy, a different dish to take to a potluck, I've even made it at the kitchen at work with an electric cook pot. It's wonderful!!
