Zojirushi Recipe – Jambalaya

This popular dish from Louisiana is simple to prepare and filling. Its name comes from the Provencal word "jambalaia" meaning "a mix-up". The rice is cooked then "mixed-up" with cooked shrimp and sausage. A hint of spice from the chili flakes makes it a fun dish to serve at parties!
