Slow-Cooker Jambalaya image

Jambalaya is a Creole dish, inspired by both French and Spanish cuisines. Served in the south (especially Louisiana!) and filled with both shrimp and andouille or smoked sausage, it packs on the flavor as a perfect dinner option year-round. This slow-cooker version only takes 15 minutes to prep, and the flavors simmer together for hours, making this recipe a must-try for any Cajun food lover.
