For a smokier flavor, consider using smoked sausage. You can also add a splash of hot sauce for extra heat. Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker. Check the chicken for doneness before adding the shrimp. If you don't have Cajun seasoning, you can make your own by combining paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, and black pepper. Jambalaya is even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

May 17, 2022I found the jambalaya a little too spicy for my taste, so I reduced the amount of cayenne pepper. It was perfect after that!
