Jambalaya Rice

JAMBALAYA RICE
Looking for a great hearty meal that is easy to make and full of flavor?  I personally love anything with Creole seasoning and shrimp!  This easy dish is a crock pot recipe that is a little out of the norm.  If you can imagine the smell as it is cooking, that is only a tiny preview of the punch of flavor this delicious recipe affords.  Using turkey smoked sausage and brown rice even makes this dish a little on the healthy side.

As the weather cools in the coming weeks and you turn to the slow cooker for a delicious way to get a meal on the table, try this recipe.  Olivia made it and as you can see, she got great results.
