Hi Kevin! Just made this today, keeping the rice separate is basically my only change. I followed the recipe pretty much, which I typically do not do. It’s delicious, thank you!!

Hi Kevin! This looks so good and can’t wait to do it. For the rice ingredient can I use Jasmine rice instead?? If not, what can I substitute the long grain rice for??
Tks for all the good recipes Kevin.

Hi Kevin, This recipe is delicious. I had a good one but lost it. I was so upset but then I found yours. Definitely a keeper. I turn the leftovers into soup and garnish with a Honey Lime Crema and Fried Tortilla Strips. Both are fantastic. Thank you.

In reply to jenn@slim-shoppin.com. I just made it. It tastes more like spaghetti than jumbalaya. Still tasty though. I will have to try another recipe until I get something similar to what I've had in New Orleans.

In reply to Sara. I'm glad you like it! It sounds like you just need to stop cooking as soon as the rice gets tender and before it gets mushy.

Hi. I’ve made this a few times now and the flavors are amazing. My question is the rice comes out mushy. Is that normal? It doesnt say to cover and cook so I dont but I have been stirring it occasionally. Could this be the problem? Thanks for posting. The flavors really are the best.

In reply to Gina. You can skip simmering the shrimp shells in the broth before using the broth. Doing this step will extract more shrimp flavour from the shells into the broth. Enjoy!

This is the recipe I have been looking for, but I am a little confused. When it says you can skip the first step, do you mean not to use the chicken broth? Or, to not add the shrimp shells? Thanx for your response

I made this for dinner tonight. I didn't have creole seasoning so I used cajun(close enough!). I included the bacon step in the recipe, and boiling the shells in the broth. I would never skip those steps, so much flavor!! Yummy. I had some crawfish in my freezer post craw season, so they joined the mix. This was an AMAZING dish and I will make again! A bit of prep, but so worth it! Thank you for an amazing recipe!
