jambalayas

Louisiana rice medleys

Jambalayas is the plural of jambalaya, a Louisiana Creole rice dish combining meat, seafood, vegetables, and spices.

The dish typically includes some combination of chicken, sausage, shrimp, and the "holy trinity" of Cajun cooking—onion, celery, and bell pepper.
