Louisiana Jambalaya Recipe


Louisiana Jambalaya Recipe
I got this recipe while in New Orleans a few years ago. It's the best Jambalaya recipe I've found! You can use this as a base and substitute any meat or shellfish!

Great recipe, but use Zatarain's Long Grain rice for great dish! After trying many different recipes where you added uncooked rice; I decided it was best to pre-cook my rice and then add it to the other ingredients. Less starchy taste.


Great recipe sounds so good I love Cajun food of all sorts.

Have a great evening!!!

OK. Going to give it a try. I will let you know.


Great and Easy recipe. I made a few cooking changes,to streamline the process, but kept the ingredients. It was very good, and a co-worker asked for the recipe. Thank you!
