I've been making jambalaya and many years and this is the best and most accurate recipe I've used. Adding the shrimp after the jambalaya comes out of the oven cooks the shrimp perfectly without overcooking them. I am so glad I discovered this jambalaya recipe. I've passed it on to members of my family. I am from St. Martinville, Louisiana and I know many Durands. I hope I get to meet Amelia.

I made this for dinner last night and everyone raved about it. The andouille sausage was without a doubt the best sausage to use in it. Took others advise and only used 2 1/2 cups rice and 5 cups of chicken stock. I also used a can of diced tomatoes with the juice and the rice came out perfectly. Just enough spice for everyone and served with a salad and this meal was to die for. You have to make it!

What a great recipe. I will agree with only using 2 3/4 cups of rice. I brought it in for a group dinner here at the base and the guys tore into it... yep you guessed it... none left...This is a keeper recipe for sure.. Thanks!!

This recipe is always a big hit whenever it's made. I always have to cook rice a little longer than specified and add a bit more liquids, But it always turns out well with no left overs in site.

In Louisiana, where I grew up, everybody has a different take on this dish. It's Cajun, not Creole, and is highly spiced.The key is the proportion of liquid to rice. Too much liquid, you've got soup. Too much rice, you've got cement. This dish is excellent-the best recipe I've come across. I've made it many times, BUT-the first time I made it, it was cement.Too much rice. I cut the rice to 2 1/3 cups. I also make it with stock I make from the shrimp shells plus some chicken stock to make 6 cups. I also use Cajun seasoning-any will do-to add more flavor. You can substitute a 14 oz. can of diced tomatoes with the juice for fresh tomatoes. DO NOT precook the shrimp as someone else said they would do. Let them steam with the dish. This is a great recipe!

My family loved this recipe. I pre-chopped the meat and vegetables the day before sorting ingredients as they went into the pot. Example...putting all of my prechopped celery, onion and peppers in one bowl, garlic, tomato, jalapeno, etc. in another, and so on. making the meal rather quick to put together the following day for the Super Bowl. I would definitely make this recipe again and would do as much prep work in advance as possible.

My boyfriend and I had so much fun making this dish in my new French oven!! A lot of chopping though so it's great to get your honey involved ; This jambalaya was delish! We made some slight changes, such as we added scallops as well as shrimp and manzanilla olives..YUM! And it makes so much, we had meals for days!

This was a big hit in my house! the kids don't like things too hot so I left out the hot sauce and the jalapeno pepper. I used kielbasa instead of andouille. This is a winner!
