Jambalaya is one of Louisiana's most versatile dishes. It may have one or many proteins added. Some common additions include shrimp, smoked sausage, pork, ham, and crawfish. It can be made with chicken or beef as well. The "holy trinity" combination of onions, peppers, and celery is found in most jambalaya recipes.

This jambalaya is a delicious combination of rice, chicken, andouille sausage, and shrimp. Tomatoes, garlic, and herbs season this tasty dish. Feel free to add some steamed peas to the dish, or add some cooked drained beans.
