This slow-cooked version of a Louisiana favorite leans on smoky andouille and juicy shrimp for maximum flavor. A nod to African jollof and Spanish paella, jambalaya is a genius way to transform rice into a satisfying one-pot dish.

Made it exactly like the directions once I learned what converted rice is. It must make a difference because mine was delicious and the rice was cooked perfectly. The shrimp were also properly done.
