An easy winnerJun 19, 2006
By C. Gomez

This is an easy to make meal that is different from your garden variety meal-in-a-box. I tend to use smoked sausage with the mix. The sausage is precooked so it soaks up flavor from the mix as the whole thing simmers.
When I had more time, I tried mixing smoked sausage and grilled chicken. The chicken was marinated with an off-the-shelf louisiana cajun style marinade and then grilled. Slice and put the chicken in at the end when the rest is done (or the chicken will dry out being "cooked" a second time) and it was fantastic. Since the point of this meal is to be quick, I only did this method once, but it was great.
Only downside is that the meal is a bit oily, and leaves a residue at the bottom of your dish. This just reminds you that this dish is better served as a guilty pleasure than an everyday meal.

 A Family Favorite ... And Easy, Too!Jul 17, 2006
By Melissa A. Case

In our house, we're big fans of Cajun fare. However, I don't often have the time to spend making homemade gumbo or jambalaya. Zatarain's mixes are pretty darned good everyday substitutes.
When we make this jambalaya at home (at least once a week), we add chicken, as well as some fresh andouille sausage that our local grocery makes. I often have people beg me for the recipe, then have to tell them that it was a mix. Not only is this a great-tasting, hearty meal, it couldn't be easier to prepare; and it only takes about 30 minutes! And with the $10 discount that Amazon is offering right now, the price on this 12-pack can't be beat.

Y U M M Y......R I C E....!Apr 26, 2011

The ONLY reason I give ZATARAIN'S NEW ORLEANS STYLE JAMBALAYA MIX, 8-OUNCE BOXES, (PACK OF 12), four stars instead of 5 is because one must buy 12 boxes together, here on Amazon. It's scrumptious rice, but I must agree with another reviewer who said his family got tired of it after "only" 3 boxes, and the rest is now sitting on the shelf. Too much of anything -- even something as delicious as this rice -- does get tiring after a while. Of oourse there are all kinds of customers who buy from Amazon -- some people are lucky enough to have friends, family or neighbours to share the large quantities, and prices, that Amazon puts into it's quantity packages.
But others, like myself, have only two -- or only one-- person for whom to buy food. Thus, I think that BOTH large quantity packaging, (12), and small quantity packaging, (4?), should be made available.
As for the product itself, it is truly superb! It has just the right amount of spice, and just the right kind of spice. It will not burn your taste-buds as some overly-spicy rice does...nor will it bore your taste-buds, as too-plain rice does. To quote Goldilocks: "This one is JUST right!"
Totally yummy! But I don't want to have to eat quite so much!
Typo in directions?Aug 17, 2010

Not that I would microwave this dish, but if I were to do that should I really microwave it on high for 25 minutes? I think it would definitely be blackened.
Effortless Meal / Adds Flavor to Vegetarian DietJul 11, 2010
By Gilgamesh
I've enjoyed eating Zatarain's New Orleans Style Jambalaya Mix for a few years now. I'm a vegetarian, so like anyone with a restricted diet, I found myself getting into a rut with my meals. I gave this a try, because I was looking to add some variety to my meals. It is wonderful.
MY FAVORITE MEAL
First, I fix the rice. That only takes about 25 minutes and is nothing more complicated than boiling water. Then, in a separate pan I cook some kind of vegetarian sausage (I used to use boca sausage, but that seems to have been discontinued). I usually season it with pepper, a bit of soy sauce, and garlic. I prefer to wait for them to get crispy on the verge of burnt. That seems to help them keep their flavor. After that, I put some green peppers, onions, and spinach in with the sausage. Finally, I put it all into the pot with the rice. I cook the vegetables/sausage separately from the rice because I want them to retain their flavor. It gives the jambalaya a more complicated taste.
Make space for this in your pantry. One box serves six (not counting whatever meat/vegetables you add), so for an individual you'll have 72 meals with this! If you only fix this meal once or twice a week, you are looking at about a year's worth of jambalaya. It's a great value :)
