This Easy Cajun Jambalaya is a refrigerator magnet! You will love this versatile and easy dinner recipe.
I love this easy Cajun jambalaya because it’s such a catch-all dish. Do you have some leftover chicken to use up? Did you find a half-empty bag of shrimp in your freezer? Toss it all in! Pretty much any meats are welcome to the party, and you can add or substitute veggies too. Keep the rice and liquid proportions the same, and you can adjust the rest of the amounts to work with what you have on hand.
Stir in rice, and continue cooking 2-3 minutes longer, stirring constantly. Stir in chicken broth, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Bring mixture to boil, lower heat to medium low, and cover. Simmer 15 minutes.
Add bite-sized pieces of seafood (shredded leftover salmon is GREAT), stirring in and scraping the bottom of the pot. Cook an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and allow to stand covered 5 minutes longer before serving.

This sounds amazing! I gotta get some Andouille sausage, but I have everything else in order to make this dish. I’ll use brown rice, but that’s just because I always use it. I (also) have some shrimp to throw in, so I’m sure we’ll love this dish! Thanks for this incredible recipe!

I hope it turned out well for you, Angela. I meant to reply sooner to say you’ll need to increase the cook time for brown rice, but I’m sure you figured that out. Thank you!
