The reason this may work is that the recipe' adds a ton of other stuff and doctors the hell out of that mix.

Tony Chachere's Creole Jambalaya Dinner Mix
Uncle Ben's converted original long grain rice
Whole tomatoes
Fresh shrimp, in shell

So much wrong here....that may work outside of Acadiana but that dog won't hunt in a real Cajun kitchen.

Nice NOLA style jamb there GonePecan.

I'm sure it would give a good run in the festival here in G-town.

Who is Becca?

Good lord that's one stupid looking recipe

Somehow she managed to make jambalaya ten times more complicated than it needs to be DESPITE the fact that she is using box mixes.
