This meal comes together quickly and is super easy to make. Shrimp, sausage, and a blend of seasoning make this one of the tastiest jambalaya recipes. Instead of spending hours in the kitchen, this will take half that time and is perfect for a busy life schedule that loves a little spice in their meals. If you're not a seafood lover, just omit the shrimp and add more smoked sausage or another cooked meat.
