American Kitchen Classic Creole Jambalaya image

This dish is a New Orleans Creole-style "red" jambalaya. Creole cuisine evolved in the homes of well-to-do aristocrats, or those who imitated their lifestyle, and who mainly lived on country plantation estates. A lot of people believe Creole cuisine is New Orleans based but it isn't so. Traditionally this recipe would have seafood, such as crayfish or shrimp, added but for alot of people, seafood is an acquired taste. If you wish to add seafood, do so at the time you add the onions.

This jambalaya was a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best jambalaya he had ever had. I would recommend this recipe for people who like spicy food.

I thought this jambalaya was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think I would have liked it more if it had been spicier.

This jambalaya was really good. I liked the fact that it wasn't too spicy. I also liked the addition of okra. It gave the dish a nice texture.

This was my first time making jambalaya and it was a disaster. The rice was mushy and the shrimp was overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I will definitely not be making this recipe again.

This jambalaya was a hit! I loved the combination of flavors and textures. The shrimp, chicken, and sausage were all cooked perfectly, and the rice was fluffy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
