This was excellent! I too don't care for bell pepper and tomato in my Jambalaya. The only thing I did different was add the chicken when I added the shrimp since it just needed to be heated through. I also had to add about a 1/4 cup additional chicken broth. My husband loved it for his "Mardi Gras" dinner and since he likes things spicier than I, he put a few dashes of Cholula sauce on top! Will definately make again... especially since we also didn't have much for leftovers!

Nice alternative to the usual fried rice recipe. I love the mix of herbs that don't come across as too overpowering. The ratio of meats/seafood to rice though might be a little too much; I'd re-adjust to lessen the quantity of each meat. I would probably also lessen the worcestershire sauce a little bit; mine came off too dark. Good to add tomatoes and green bell peppers too for a little more color. It really is even better the next day!

I'm so glad you wrote this down! I used less garlic, and ham instead of sausage. I have never had jambalaya, but have always wanted to try it. This is one of the best recipes I have ever made! The flavour is...WOW! I'm just speechless! The leftovers were even better! This recipe is a great example of why I spend so much time searching for new things to make.
