Enjoy the flavor and soul of New Orleans with Jambalaya Rice Mix. Add one pound of smoked sausage, cooked chicken, ham or shrimp for an easy meal your whole crew will love. Creole jambalaya was born in New Orleans in the 18th century when Spanish settlers tried to recreate their beloved paella using Louisiana ingredients. Today it’s a local staple, common from music festivals to Mardi Gras parties to quiet weeknight meals. And there’s a reason why you’ll find boxes of Zatarain’s Jambalaya Rice Mix in so many New Orleans pantries: It delivers classic jambalaya flavor and is incredibly easy to prepare. *Except those naturally occurring glutamates
