Quick and easy jambalaya that has lots of flavor. I had to make a few changes based on the ingredients I had on hand. I used raw shrimp, so I needed to cook it a bit longer after adding the shrimp to make sure they got done. Also, I used V-8 juice instead of the tomato juice, and I cooked the onion with garlic-infused olive oil. I chose to use the smoked paprika option for added flavor and I'm glad that I did. This dish was delicious! Thank you for sharing. **Made for Susie's World Tour 2018**

Lovely, simple dish, I didn't have tomato juice, but did have a bottle of Bloody Mary mix so used that and wow, just gave it that little extra kick of flavor, I also didn't have corn so used red beans and after reading others review I did add some smoked chopped ham, and topped with a dollop of sour cream. A nice way to prepare shrimp that was full of flavor
