A five to seven qt. will do it or size for most of your jambalaya needs, but just remember you can't buy a pot stretcher at a store. Both will be great for making a large quantity of roux for mass quantities of gumbos and the like "soups" that can be on the menu in your future life.

For crawfish, with a given sized pot multiply the quarts by 0.6 to determine about how many pounds of crawfish you can cook in it in one batch.

For jambalaya, you may find the Jabalaya Calculator useful:

If you can afford, it by a couple of dutch ovens...but make sure one of them is bigger than you think you need. Like CITWTT said earlier, they don't make pot stretchers. Most likely, you will use them a couple of times a week and if you take care of them, you can pass them down to your grandchildren.
