I would bump up the rice by at least 1/3rd of a cup. I liked the flavor of this recipe but it was more like soup than what is shown in the picture.
you think just adding 1 cup broth would make it not soupy?
Made this tonight, followed the recipe almost exactly (added 1 tsp more creole seasoning, only change). Turned out well, rice was cooked, no problem with too much liquid, good consistency. My husband & I both enjoyed, will make again.
I made this for my family tonight and it was a huge hit. I didn’t change a thing. After following the instructions and letting it sit for a few minutes, it looked exactly like what you see in the picture. This is actually my second time making this recipe and it will definitely not be the last!
Thank you, Alan, for stopping by and sharing this! It is certainly a family favorite of ours too.
I added cubed chicken and a dash of cayenne, we like it spicy. I also added 1/4 cup more chicken broth to accommodate adding the chicken. Upon letting it set for a few minutes after cooking, it was just a tab bit wetter than I would have like, but it was absolutely delicious! ?
Note: Next time, I’ll add the recommended amount of liquid. ?
I would love to add shrimp to this. How would the cook time change? I know that shrimp don’t take long at all in the Instant Pot.
Great recipe. Mine was pretty spicy. Used Zatarains Creole seasoning, but didn’t have any chili powder, so I used ground red pepper. It was excellent. Thanks for the recipe. Will try with chicken and shrimp next time.
Awesome, Mark! So glad you liked it.
Just made this jambalaya tonight and it was a hit with my family!! I adjusted the spice for my daughter, but would LOVE to have it spicier!! It turned out perfect for me…..not at all too liquidy for me!! I did cook some shrimp with the onion, celery and bell pepper then removed them and added them back when it was finished!! Soooo yummy! Thank you for sharing this great recipe!
Hi Matti! Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing how you and your family loved this recipe. This makes me very happy. I love a little more spice in my Jambalaya too. This recipe is so easy and versatile, you can add just about anything to it!
This is so good, folks. Made ours a little spicy. Will be making often!
Probably should just use a cup of chicken broth, came out a little soupy 🙁
