Jambalaya w/shrimp, chicken and sausage

"Had this for the first time at a dinner party, now I HAVE to make it every month or so. It's better if you have the sausage, chicken and shrimp prepared before starting, that way you can dig in once the rice is cooked. "

  1. Holy Shomoly....what an awesome recipe!!! I gobbled down 2 bowl fulls. This was my first time making jambalaya from scratch. All the chopping was a little time consuming, but well worth it all. Even my son said this recipe was a definate keeper. It was a little spicy for his taste, but I thought it was perfect, just enough to give it a kick, but not so much you are rushing around to find a drink. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I won't go back to the boxed kind again.
     
  2. J--this is delicious! Very easy, the work is in the prep. Get that done first,and then get ready to go. I left out the celery, only because you said you did, and I wan't in a celery mood, lol. I wasn't entirely sure about the bbq sauce, but you know...it's perfect in this! It adds a subtle smoky flavor that goes well with the other ingredients. We absolutely loved it J, and will be making it again. Thanks! (OK tt, now you don't have to be afraid to try it :P)
     
  3. This was a big hit at our house! We didn't add the bacon, chicken or shrimp. Only had chipotle bbq sauce and it still turned out great!
     
  4. Good but not great. We spiced it up and everyone enjoyed. Will make again and use this as a base.
     
  5. I followed the recipe to the T and the rice did not cook. We had hard rice in our meal that night. The flavor was great, but the hard rice ruined it. Thanks anyways!

Tweaks

  1. This was excellent & received rave reviews in the house. I couldn't decide between making paella & jambalaya & ended up adding 1 tsp turmeric & 1 tbsp paprika, plus replaced the tomato sauce with 19oz chopped tomatoes & juice - turned out spectacular!
     
  2. This is fantastic! I used chicken broth instead of water and left the sausage in the whole time to aid in flavor. I cooked it about an hour putting the pre-cooked chicken in about 20 minutes before serving and the shrimp about 4 minutes to plate! WOW!!
     
  3. The best jambalaya we have ever had. I skip the bacon and use olive oil instead. Still turns out GREAT !! I use a honey bar-b-que sauce that turns out wonderful.
