In reply to Katie. Thank you, Katie. Great tips, all. We are just sitting down to the table to try it now! I'm always looking for new crockpot recipes to help out on those extra busy days, and I think this one will make the list!

Thanks for including my crock pot jambalaya recipe a try! I hope your family likes it as much as we do. It does require a little additional labor of love, but totally worth it. Here is an additional tip to make it quicker: Upon your arrival from home you’ll need to add the rice to the crock-pot and let it cook… the last 30 minutes is when you add the shrimp. This is the best most authentic way to get the cajun flavors in the rice. I’ve also learned a “cheat” way… remove as much of the liquid as possible and cook the rice in a rice cooker with the jambalaya juices! Add the shrimp to the crock pot at the same time you are cooking the rice in the rice cooker. Mix the cooked rice in the crock pot and let it marry together a little longer then serve!
