I made this Jambalaya for lunch today...EXCELLENT! This certainly hit the spot and I will make this dish over and over again. Looking forward to having the left-overs for tomorrow. Thank you very much for sharing. :-)

I would give this 10 stars if I could. (And I rarely give 5 stars!) So easy, but so delicious. My family and guests loved it. I added red pepper flakes and tabasco for an added zing. I served this with okra & tomatoes (#309730) and cornbread for a FANTASTIC meal. This would also be good with chicken substituted for the kielbasa.

Kid approved! I added some finely chopped bell peppers and served peas on the side. I used leftover ham instead of the kielbasa.

I ran out of celery so I used scallions instead. I also used chicken and kielbasa. I should have rinsed my balsami rice first, because It came out tasting like a small hint of burlap.

This was delicious. I wasn't sure what converted rice was, so I used regular white long grain and it worked just fine. I sometimes leave out the shrimp, depending on whether I have some or not. Thanks for a great weeknight dinner recipe!
