This recipe makes me smile every time I think about it, because it is such a family and friend favorite. It is very popular with some of the women in my church and they tell me all the time. It is the best feeling when someone makes one of your recipes and truly loves it. I hope you love this one as much as we do 🙂
The Instant Pot does most of the work for you in this healthy jambalaya recipe. Using both the sauté function and pressure cook function you get an insanely flavorful meal in no time at all.
How to Get the Best Flavor:
- The base of the recipe is the holy trinity (according to creole cooking) of onions, celery and bell pepper - you get so much flavor when you sauté these veggies.
- Then you have the creole seasoning, garlic and jalapeño for an added kick!
- I love to change it up with which sausage I use. I love both Andouille and smoked sausage. Both taste amazing in this recipe.
- Using fire roasted tomatoes and some hot sauce really takes it over the top

Hi. Made the dish last night. Followed your recipe to the "t" with one minor cooking change. I dumped the frozen cauliflower rice in the instant pot once I sauteed the non-shrimp ingredients and then added the fire roasted tomatoes. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Perfect portions. Full of flavor. Looking forward to flipping through your other recipes.
Yay, so glad you enjoyed it!
Teton Waters Ranch has compliant andouille!
