Zatarains Rice Jambalaya Mix - 8 Oz.

Jambalaya is one of the most celebrated foods on Louisiana menus. The spicy concoction makes an appearance at virtually every festival in South Louisiana—especially the Jambalaya Festival in Gonzales, which calls itself the Jambalaya Capital of the World.

Similar to a Spanish paella, but feistier, jambalaya is made by cooking rice with almost any combination of meat, poultry, seafood, or game, along with peppers and other Creole seasonings. You can make a quick version by combining chicken, pork chops, ham, or shrimp with Zatarain’s Jambalaya Rice Mix. Our mixes are created with a built-in blend of authentic New Orleans-style spices, so it’s easy to whip up real jambalaya right in your own kitchen. All you need to do is add your favorite meat.

Jambalaya is great for entertaining since it’s easy to make in either small or large batches. Cajun and Creole cooks often prepare it outdoors in huge seafood boiling pots over propane burners.
