User Reviews:

Please! This is no where near Cajun Jambalaya. While it may be tasty it is totally disgraceful to call this dish Cajun or Jambalaya. CajunLou, from Acadiana country in Louisiana.

I added sausage as well as the ham, chicken and shrimp to the recipe and instead of 1 1/2 tbsps of cajun seasoning I added 2.5 tbsp's It was very good. My family and I totally enjoyed every bite!!!
