This is my own modified version of the jambalaya recipe at crockpot.com. The ingredient list is long, but it's simple. I have always used instant/minute rice, and it has always cooked just fine. Some reviewers have needed more liquid, perhaps it varies by what type of rice is used.

Tips:

Prep before you cook: Chop your vegetables, season your chicken, and measure out your spices before you start cooking. This will make the process much smoother and faster.
Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your jambalaya will taste. Look for fresh vegetables, flavorful sausage, and a good-quality rice.
Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: If you overcrowd the slow cooker, the jambalaya won't cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space for the ingredients to circulate.
Cook on low and slow: Jambalaya is a slow-cooked dish. Cooking it on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours will give it the best flavor and texture.
Add the shrimp at the end: Shrimp cooks quickly, so add it to the slow cooker towards the end of the cooking time. This will prevent it from overcooking and becoming tough.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker jambalaya is an easy and delicious way to enjoy this classic Cajun dish. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a hearty and flavorful meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
