Jambalaya is a super-easy and versatile dish to make. Make a batch in a big pot and you’ll have enough for several meals. This recipe features our Red Scorpion Fiery Hot Sauce, made with fermented scorpion peppers for a tangy heat that goes so well with classic southern cooking. And it’s great no matter how you change it up. At heart, Jambalaya is a simple combination of veggies, tomato, and rice. You can make it vegetarian, or add shrimp, chicken, and andouille sausage (or not).
