I like mine a lot dryer but of all Cajun dishes, jambalaya has the broadest definition and interpretations. If it works for you, it works! Well done.

I might get corrected by the folks from Cajun Country but I'm not from there so you'll have to gimme a kitchen pass...kitchen pass, get it?!?! Hahaha!

I diced up: red and green bell pepper, 1 each jalapeño, red (chile?) pepper, and some kind of green pepper...Anaheim I think? One onion and a bunch of garlic. Sautéed with some oil until cooked through but still firm.

I added a 14oz can of crushed tomatoes, 4 cans of chicken broth, some chicken bouillon, bay leaf, 2 tablespoons combined of Old Bay, Slap Ya Mamma hot version, and some other Cajun spice. I also threw in a little cayenne and some thyme, salt and pepper. 2 cups of uncooked rice and I had to keep stirring and add some water as it cooked.

Separate pan I seared and cooked a pound of sausage and about 2 pounds of chicken.

When the rice was done, I added the sausage and chicken. Mixed it through and then added 1.5 pounds of uncooked raw shrimp.

Man this is good eatin! And really ain't that hard. Just gotta keep stirring while watching the rice.View attachment 4716550View attachment 4716551View attachment 4716552View attachment 4716553

There is a huge cultural war about jambalaya. Tomatoes or no tomatoes.

A neighbor of mine informs me that with tomato = creole and without tomato = cajun. Allegedly, people can even get into physical fights over this, but I've never seen it happen.

Having said that - your recipe looks delicious

I always associated creole and Cajun as basically the same...I'll have to Google. No offense to either lol
