This was a very good base recipe. I made some changes; I used creole seasoning and celery salt with a quick microwaved chicken flavored rice mixed in with my sauteed onion and green pepper (no peas), I put in 1 1/2c of hot water with a chicken bullion cube and added diced canned tomatoes. I added in uncooked shrimp last for about 15min. All I know is that this turned out great, hubby was pleased, and I'll be making it again and again!

awesome recipe sometimes i will put some mild italian sausage sliced with or without chicken cubed (i have some friends who are allergic to shellfish and i make this one alot).if you want an added kick reserve the tomatoe juice from the canned tomatoes and reduce it with a tsp of chili sauce and add at the end it will bump it up a notch!

This is a great "base" for a great jambalaya...I modified it quite a bit- I got rid of the celery and peas completely. I added about 5 strips of thick cut bacon (chopped) and fried that with the veggies in the beginning...after the bacon was just about cooked I threw in the rice and let the rice fry on it's own for a bit. I then added the remaining ingredients. Being a fan of spicy food, 1/8 tsp. of cayenne just wasn't enough, I did more like 1/4 teaspoon. I also (like almost everyone else) decided to use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth. I don't like overcooked shrimp, so I used raw shrimp...I have a feeling that cooking already cooked shrimp would make them rubbery. Anyhow, the dish turned out fantastic! I will be making this again!

Great recipe, easy to follow. Chicken broth does give it more flavor.

Loved the recipe. I modified it a bit and used red pepper so that it was sweeter (I just don't like green pepper). Its not spicy so hot pepper or hot sauce could be added. I would also cut up the shrimp into bite sized portions or use the mini shrimp (just preference). We tried adding cheddar cheese to part of it and it was delicious.

Loved this easy recipe. I used brown rice and it took a long time to cook, like 90 min. Also added cooked kilbasa sausage. Very tasty, a crowd pleaser. I usually cook it ahead of time, freeze it and then thaw and reheat. The flavors seem to be stronger that way.
