My family loved this. I did add some celery just to have more veggies and since they were in the fridge, but did everything else like it said. It was great. Served with french bread.

I made this for dinner tonight, and it was delicious. However we weren't huge fans of the turkey sausage, so next time I make it, I'll probably use another pound of shrimp (we really love shrimp!) and maybe some more peppers. Otherwise it was delicious.

I lived in New Orleans 35 years. This isn't even close to real South Louisiana or "Mardi Gras" Jambalaya.

IMHO this is pretty authentic jambalaya, especially considering how quick and easy it is to assemble. I usually make jambalaya in a cast iron Dutch oven, but used a slow cooker this time. Added some cubed ham (didnt have quite enough andouille) and 1/2 cup sliced celery but changed nothing else. Cooked 6 hr on low, added rice and shrimp, cooked additional hour on high. Came out thick and hearty. I personally added a little hot sauce, but spice was about right for family. Served with cornbread makes a bunch!

Question: Do you have to use shrimp and dry white wine in this recipe? If not, what should I use?

this was awesome, agree it's a cross between gumbo and jambalaya in which some okra would have added some flavor.

I tried this recipie and it tastes great, but this dish is not a traditional jambalya. Jambalaya is not a stew but a rice and chicken, ham or shrimp dish. Jambon = ham and Alaya + ham (traditionally). This dish seems to be a cross of Jambalaya and Gumbo.
