Definitely needs more liquid - I added about 1 1/2 cups. I also included about 1/4 cup tomato sauce in that liquid because my tomatoes were fresh and there wasn't much juice. Overall, a very good recipe that can easily be tweeted to just right.

Excellent Dish! Due to family allergies I had to skip the shrimp. I added 1 tbsp of crushed red pepper, and doubled the oregano. I would definitely recommend!!!

It needs WAY MORE seasoning... My rice didn't cook all the way through, but I did one and a half recipes, so it may not multiply well.

I've never made jambalaya before...but had some cherry tomatoes and Canadian bacon to use up, and some shrimp in the freezer. Had no onion, so used onion powder, and I did add some Cajun spice and hot pepper flakes. So simple to make, and I can see endless ways to change it up! Try this...you'll like it!!

Very good. I am allergic to a lot of spices and wanted something very basic that I could do what I want with. This is it. I made my own veggie stock and used that to cook the rice. Lots of flavor. I can't have spicy foods, but its nice to be able to add what I can and still have flavor. Thank you!

It was a good basic recipe for jambalaya. I swapped the ham for sausage, used half the amount of shrimp and added in some cajun chicken I had in my freezer. I also added chopped green pepper, red pepper flakes, and cajun seasoning.
