Tried it out for potluck, and it went over well. This recipe is just enough to feed 15 cajuns (or 30 yankees) I know because I almost ran out! I'd have to say an average dish of Jambalaya isn't this complicated, but it es bon, none the less.

I had to double this recipe for Mardi Gras event at my church. Everyone loved the Jambalaya and it was easy to make. I will make this again!

This is the best jambalaya my husband and I have had ever! I scaled the recipe to 4 servings then tweaked the amounts slightly, but it turns out perfectly every time I make it.

This recipe serves 15? It takes like 19 lbs of meat!! Do you know how long it takes to peel and devein even just 4 lbs of shrimp? The worst part of this recipe was the rice. I added the rice like it says and it never got soft, despite 25 minutes of boiling, cooling for 4 hours, baking for 2 hours and then reboiling for another 45 minutes, even with added chick stock. The jambalaya tasted like it had gravel in it. Secondly, it cost a fortune in meat products, but all of the pepper kills the taste. Thirdly, it took me all day to make and was still a disaster. The quantities of food are not the right proportion to the number of servings. Don't waste your time and money on this one.

I cooked this up for a super bowl party and it was the HIT of the buffet. We warned, you are going to have to end up cooking this dish is a very large pot! And not a steaming pot, but one with a thick bottom. It's worth the work and time.

This jambalaya is absolutely delicious. It's so good that I called my husband at work to get him excited for dinner. I can't wait to share this with a friend who is from N'Awlins! This recipe would be more kid-friendly if it weren't spicy.

I modified this recipe a bit to make it easier to make. I skipped the marinade and just boiled two packs of boneless chicken breasts and then peeled them off the bone into chunks. I saved the liquid as my chicken stock. I then put the bacon in a pot and once it was cooked I dumped in the onions, greenpepper and garlic and cooked about 5 minutes. I skipped adding the flour and just added the seasonings, tomatoes, chicken stock, chicken chunks and kielbasa. I also added seasoning salt to taste. I let it cook for 1.5 hours then added 3 cups of rice(I like my jambalaya on the wet side. After 30 minutes I cut the heat and added a pound of shrimp. When they turned pink it was ready. I served this to a party of 15 and everyone loved it. Some even took some home.
