Simply Outstanding!
Added a can of Rotel and some shrimp, Andouille, and cooked chicken, ant it was terrific! I've eaten and made a lot of Jambalaya in my lifetime and this is on the high end of the scale in a fraction of the time. Only problem i that I didn't make enough, multiple boxes next time! Way to go Zatarain's!

Not the way it used to be
I've purchased and enjoyed Zatarain's jambalaya for many years. But recently the formulation has changed. It used to have a nice balance of spices - now it just tastes like red pepper and salt. And lots of salt. Initially, I thought I had just gotten a bad box, but subsequent boxes have all been bad. I won't purchase any more.

Used to be one of my favorite quick dishes to make but clearly the recipe has changed and is horrible now.

Great quick meal
Delicious with lots of flavor. I took the suggestions on the box and browned some andouille sausage first, then cooked everything in the same pot, adding some of the suggested frozen veggies too.

Ingredients change
Use to love this mix. Had it today and it is completely bland. Unless they change the recipe back i won't be purchasing again. Not sure how I'll know that they have gone back to the original. I guess they will need to print something in bold on the box.

Product quality issue
Open up the box and spices went everywhere, even though everything is supposed to be contained an envelope. So clearly I'm not going to have a very tasty experience with all these spices on the floor.

Taste great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was super easy to make! We cut up hot dog to mix in since we didnt have any sausage left. It was spicy with a great texture. I loved that it was package while in the box. That definitely will help keep it fresh!

A new and simple meal
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great one pot meal enough to fill the family with a few sides. It has a slight kick of spice to it but not too much. You can choose how you want to pair it. You can use sausage or chicken if you want.

DELICIOUS
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This rice was so delicious, it felt like I ate at a restaurant in New Orleans. The rice was so flavorful and had that little kick but a booom! I hundred percent recommend this to everyone, even the littles!

Flavors are delightfully layered— great for a busy weeknight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This saved me and my family a lot of meal prep headaches last week as things got super chaotic with our schedule. This was tasty, easy to prep, and the flavors were delightfully layered! Pair it with your favorite protein and dinner should be set like that!

Perfect quick dinner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Combined with chicken, it made a quick and easy weeknight dinner the entire family loved! I mixed it with fresh sautéed veggies and a side salad and there were no leftovers. It has a little spice to it, but not overpowering. Would make it again!

Tasty with ground pork.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mix had decent flavor. I made it with ground pork sausage which added a fun bite. Cook time is a little longer than I would like for a weeknight meal, but was worth a little extra wait.

Easy One Pot Meal with Spice!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quick Dinner Idea!! Made this in one pot style. I used Beef sausage and cooked to direction. After rice was done I did taste it and felt it was missing a pinch of salt. We added fried eggs on top!

Delicious Kick!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely delicious!!! I didn't add protein to it, but we did have it with pork chops and it was absolutely amazing! Some fell on the floor and my dog grabbed some and had to drink water immediately so the spice is real, but we love it!!

"Quick, Flavorful, and So Easy to Make!"
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] "I recently tried the Zatarain's Jambalaya Rice Mix, and wow — it's packed with flavor! It has that perfect blend of spices that makes it taste homemade, but it's ready in just a few minutes. I love how easy it is to prepare — I just add sausage or shrimp, and dinner is done. The texture of the rice comes out perfect every time, and the seasoning gives it that authentic New Orleans vibe. It's become one of my go-to meals for busy nights when I still want something comforting and full of flavor."

Jazz it Up with Zatarain's!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love simple meals I can easily make for my family after a long workday. Everyone enjoyed it! The meal was favorable, with just the right amount of spice. Conveniently fed my family of 5.

Authentic Southern Flavor Made Easy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Zatarain's Jambalaya Rice Mix (8 oz) is a solid go-to when you want that bold Louisiana flavor without spending hours cooking. The spice blend hits the perfect balance — savory, smoky, and just the right amount of heat. It pairs great with sausage, chicken, or shrimp, and the rice always cooks up fluffy and flavorful. What I love most is how convenient it is — a quick, one-pot meal that tastes homemade, even on busy weeknights. The only reason it's not five stars is that the salt level can be a bit high if you're sensitive to sodium, and it's best when you add your own protein or veggies for balance. Overall, it's a reliable, flavorful, and easy-to-make meal base that brings a touch of New Orleans to your kitchen every time.

Good but a little salty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was great in addition to our meal eith chicken. The rice mix was easy to make and very quick! One downfall I found was it was a tad salty for me however I do not eat boxed foods often.
