We really just have one goal - to make your food life better. Ok that, and be entertained at the same time. And have you learn a few things along the way. So let’s make it 3 goals then.
If you only want the steps to make something, like those vids shot from above with no people, no conversation no nuthin - then we are absolutely not for you. But if you wanna a little fun while you learn, then this is the place.
Cooking doesn’t have to be hard, it just has to be delicious.

THANK YOU ❗️ - Розваги
Looks delicious! Just a pro tip or two from Louisiana though: Fry your sausage first until it browns and then add the vegetables in order. Removing the tails from the shrimp and de-veining makes eating nicer, but you should boil the tails (and a few heads if you have them) in your stock to add a more robust flavor.
Exactly, meat then veggies! Tony’s yes, Old Bay never!
Thats how we do it in central Louisiana too. Gotta get them good goods from the meats first.
Facts. And yea ol bay is a def no no.
@@insaneasylum7898 lol I'm from Cenla
Thank you cause he makes this dish look horrible
I live in Louisiana. Brown the meat first sam. Take it out then Saute the veges. Sausage won't brown long enough to give enough of a good flavor. If you brown the sausage to the appropriate time the veges will be burnt by then. So brown the meat first then add the veges
All the people from Louisiana complaining about how the recipe isn't authentic, have you not been here for all the italian and mexican recipes? He knows it isn't authentic, he always puts his own twist on recipes. Just enjoy it for what it is.
I learned how to cook Jambalaya on the bayou in LA, and the best part about cooking with cajuns was listening to them argue about how to make stuff. Which they did a lot of, at least the ones I was around did. So I would say this comment section is pretty authentic :)
@@tedkoppel4199 bayou?? LA???? Wtf
Exactly!😋
@@yungplague5534 LA Is the state postal code for Louisiana genius.
Wrong twist.
I’m born in New Orleans and raised. I don’t understand all the comments. Jambalaya is one of those dishes people can make it their own. Sam never claimed this to be 100 percent authentic Cajun. Different strokes for different folks. I bet this is very tasty. I use smoked sausage and I have never seen anyone make a roux for jambalaya so I don’t know where that comes from either. I have had ALOT of shit called jambalaya over the years so sam having his own version I think is fine. FYI there are two types of jambalaya, red and brown. For those who aren’t from Louisiana
Famous Louisiana chef Isaac Toups cooks his Jambalaya with a roux. Not saying everyone does it but I think it's common.
It's authentic enough for my taste buds!
If it hits your taste buds that’s all that matters.
@@nicolosi11480 As an agreeable person I'm going to agree with that.
@@nicolosi11480 Indeed!
Do you travel to Louisiana often?
Me: Only on a Cajun.
Perfect! 🤣
this is true comedy
Instant classic!!! 😂😂
Ha Ha
Holy crap, as a resident of Louisiana, I approve, lol
Adding tomatoes, traditionally, makes it a creole...but it still tastes good. Pro tip...add a few bay leaves next time. Stuff will be popping!!!
Came here to say this, bay leaves are where it’s at
Yeh, I lost interest at the tomatoes but it still sounds good. Just not my definition of jambalaya. He makes a roux next time and omits the tomatoes and I'm in.
This was not jambalaya. It looks tasty as hell, but this was arroz con camarones y chorizo.
I know right but I love it how people gets Cajun or creole dishes confused. I'm a Cajun when I see someone put tomatoes in a jambalaya I'm like no it's not Cajun.
Silly people. No one owns cajun cooking. It's like saying if you put avacodo on a burger it's no longer a burger. As soon as you learn to stop pigeonholing yourself, you'll start to learn how to cook creatively. But I agree with the bay leaves. That is the jam right there.
Everyone: amazed at whatever Sam is doing.
Me: damn that's one nice looking pan 😍
Wish I had one of those
What is it cause I thought the same thing. On his website all he has is cast iron and knives.
You're def not from Louisiana lol
I concur, it even sounds nice when he bangs on it....lol
To sam, chance and max, you guys are so very welcome. I'm still on cloud 9. That meant so much 2 me. I've been getting some many messages today on this video, when I shared it on Facebook. Enjoy your belts guys.
Nice touch, Mike. Bravo!
Michael that is the coolest and most thoughtful gift ever. I’m sure you made their whole week with these, and they will proudly display them.
Michael, oh Michael. You belt is thoughtful and free, sent like the wind on a balance beam
That was an awesome present!
Very Nice!
Louisiana born and raised and love your show & all your recipes. Glad seeing you cook a dish that we love cooking here in the south.
Hate to see him Butcher it.
Yes but you really need to be in Louisiana to do this. No excuse. Love the show tho
@@justinmaynard890 That's like saying you need to be in China to make Chinese food. No excuse.
@@DualYel It's food long as it tastes good to those who are eating it who cares ? It's not being made for you
@@karneskelot4780 He's not exactly a Michelin Star chef so don't get on his ass. Least he doesn't go around saying something is authentic and then it isn't like Jamie Oliver has many times or screwed up a damn grilled cheese like Gordon Ramsay
Had to substitute Valvoline for avocado oil, still turned out amazing.
I made it today & just finished eating. One of the best dishes i’ve ever made. Easy to prep and easy to cook. Thanks again Sam!
Mike is the star of this episode hands down. Hats off .
Some people in Louisiana had a heart attack when he pulled out Chorizo.
😹
That wasn't even a real chorizo... Just sayin
I did have a heart attack andouilie or deer sausage is the only way to go
No it was the tomatoes that gave me a small Cajun heart attack 🤣 no tomatoes in jambalaya ever.
@@gingerthibodeaux5704 me too
I have used this video to make several different versions. Being from the midwest, I use polish sausage after trying several other sausage types (including chorizo and andouille). I also instead of chopping up tomatoes simply use a can of diced tomatoes or Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies. Either way, this is a great video to teach how to cook a one pot meal regardless of its contents. So yummy and experiment to your own regional tastes. This video shows you how to do that and I literally make a variation of this once a month. Always awesome.
made this last night with my son (He is a chef) it turned out fab! Added some extra colored bell peppers and crab meat, turned out so darn good! Thank you Sam, you are amazing!
I’ve been cooking 2 or 3 of Sam’s recipes a week for a few months now. This was by far the best dish so far. So good!
THANK YOU SAM! Jambalaya is literally my favorite dish in the whole world. I'm SO GLAD you covered this!
I would break into this man's house just to eat his leftovers. 😭
Me too. If you need a partner in crime I'm your man.
lol
As long as its not his pizza or jambalaya then I got your back lol
😂😂😂
Just made this last night, came out UNREAL. Thank you so much! So easy to make and the flavor is just amazing.
This has been one of my tailgate go to recipes. I pre chop, pre measure all my ingredients and it is so easy. When I tailgate, I love being able to give my guests a scoop of something delicious vs messing around with something I need to tend to for a long duration. The smells that are created during this cook is phenomenal and the final product is just divine. It is almost exhausting saying your welcome after all the thanks you will receive when you cook this dish😊
I would love to see an episode on the tools you use, such as different knives, pots and pans, etc. .
Watching your videos has made me cook better even if I havent made the things in your videos other than a burger lmao. You just explain things in a way that genhinely helps me learn. Love your content sam
Made this with my husband - our first time trying at jambalaya. DELICIOUS. We followed the recipe exact plus we added 1/2lb of scallops. Thanks! Love your channel.
Idk why but every Jambalaya recipe I see never has enough rice for my liking
Holy crap - this was EASY! I loved it, my wife loved it, even our kids loved it! I'm adding it to our regular menu rotation. Sam is a freaking genius!
Did It tonight even though we had other plans. Great comeback dish. I had it all in my fridge except the shrimp so I went with sausage and chicken. Thanks Sam!
Just made this, delicious. Thank you! Easy and amazing!
Just cooked this up today. It was really good! Thanks so much Sam!
So easy to make and it's a dish the whole family loves. My wife asks for this every week since I first made it. A also add a chicken breast and sauté the shrimp separate to accommodate someone with a shellfish allergy.
Made it tonight!!! I thought it might be too tomatoey or too spicy, for me, but the only thing it was, was too good. Beautiful! Thank you, guys!
This has quickly become my favorite dish. Especially when cooked in my STCG cast iron pan. Thanks Sam, keep up the good work.
I love one pot meals and this one pot jambalaya looks amazingly delicious!
There's something so satisfying about seeing Sam cut veggies
I bought his knife.. it makes it fun to lol
Made this last night. Extremely tasty and everyone commented on how good it was. Thanks Sam!
My first time making this last week and it was great. Thank you for the videos. Im making this again this weekend
Hi Sam! Love your channel!! Louisiana native here and in Lafayette. It's easy to sub the andouille with kielbasa sausage... Also get some pork shoulder, cut it into bite sized or bigger pieces, sear and cook down... Then add sausage and then veggies... Omg amazing! Thanks for all the great recipes!
Mike, those are COOL belts. Well done.
3/10/21 I just finished my jambalaya made to your recipe (I added diced carrots and a little "Slap Ya Mama" Cajun seasoning) and although it took about an hour to cook, it came out awesome. The hardest part was dicing the tomato. And now, seconds!
Another amazing looking meal that as a trucker I can cook in my truck. I love when you do these 1 pot dishes. I am an over the road trucker and I only have an install, and an electric skillet and this meal would be perfect in my skillet.
Made this for the Fam today...man it was a complete knock out! We all loved it and it took me back to my days living in South! Super glad I found your channel Sam, keep bringing them videos my man!
Cooked this for the fam tonight. Totally rocked it.. The fam loved it. Thanks Sam! 🍻
One Pan Meals needs to be your next cookbook!
That’s a pretty pan, love it! U never disappoint Sam ❤️
Shoutout to the 219. I used to work in Lowell Indiana when I lived in Merrillville
Hell yeah Mike
I’ve been making this every Thursday since you posted this, thank you Sammy!!!!
Sam's wife: "I wish he'd talk to me like he talks to his food."
You bet!
Lol.
Pro tip:
Brown the meat first, then remove and cook veggies (no tomatoes), then throw everything in.
Veggie first then meat my friend
sausage was pre-cooked.
I know what your saying,get the meat to make a good Foun and let the veggie sweat deglaze
@@ericerictwicethatsrite4802 ahh yes that's definitely how I would have done it
Yep I do it this way so the veggies sautee in the fat from the sausage making them even more flavorful.
This is a great recipe. Perfect mid week. Thx Sam. Love the Channel!!
Oh my gosh! Just made this! DELISH and so easy! Thanks Sam!❤
Oh boy I’m from New Orleans I’m excited to see you do this and read all the mean comments lol
I live in Metairie, and I was thinking the same thing. 🤣Cajun purists will complain about the tomatoes, surely somebody will bitch about the chorizo, and other people will say, "That's not how my MawMaw made it." Jambalaya is a great dish because you can use what you have. I've been known to throw a can of Rotel tomatoes and green chiles into mine. 🤷♂️ I think he did a great job for a Canadian living in California.
So this looks good but as a Cajun this is more creole or what you would find primarily in New Orleans. In the Acadiana area tomatoes weren’t easily found so that’s not the traditional ingredient. I’m sure this tast delicious, but 90% of Louisiana would be like “ nah, this ain’t jambalaya!”
CANCEL THE PLANS! Doing this tonight. Thx Sam!!
Play free bird !
Grateful dead sucks
Luckily I have all the ingredient so doing tonight as well.
Lmfaoo Litterally said the same thing
Why do top comments these days only seem like feigned sincerity from people trying to push a channel?
I made this tonight for the family! Delicious! Thanks Sam!
Omg! Just made this dish! First time ever making jumbolya and I'm beyond impressed with how easy it was and how amazing it tastes!
Making this tonight ! Thanks Sam ! Love these one pot meals since I have a family of 5. Regardless all of your dishes are amazing and I’ve made probably 75% of everything you’ve posted. Keep up the great work ! And thanks for the entertainment !
8:08
Sam: I need one thing on top of this, anybody want to guess?
Me: GREEN ONION
Sam: Parsley
Me: Dammit lol
Made this tonight for dinner. Turned out excellent! Thanks for the recipe / show
In India, they cook shrimp until its tough to chew, but they always go into a spicy sauce and they become juicier, and give a nice flavor. Thanks for your ideas, I sometime use them.
Chorizo? Tomatoes? "You can use Old Bay"...is Sam trying to single handedly trying to take out the state of Louisiana?
Take on is more like it. I'll forgive him because he's not from here though.
I feel more offended by putting the shrimp in with a sausage jambalaya than anything. Serving on the side is fine, but you should never mix those two in a jambalaya. Should you use your own spices? Yeah, but that can be forgiven. Mixing seafood and sausage cannot be imo.
@@Galluu_ What about Gumbo? I've had Gumbo prepared at Creole places and by New Orleanians that had Andouille and shrimp in their Gumbo along with crab.
@@amen_ra6926 if it's seafood then yeah you can put them together, as many cajun places usually do. You just don't mix meat from land and sea, i.e. shrimp and chicken, sausage and crawfish
Right!! 🤣
In keeping with a Mardi Gras theme, how about red beans and rice?
That's a staple around my house!
Camelia beans. Trinity. Ham hocks. Stock. Bacon. Seasoning. Butter. Bay leaf and you good
I'm making this for supper right now! Smells amazing!
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Thank you very much for this!!
I'd like to see a poll on how many Sam watchers are gonna cook this within the next few days. My guess is a lot.
I'm making it Friday night - easy and delicious - just what the doctor ordered for a Friday night in.
Making it tonight!
Making it right now
I'm making it in about an hour
Just made it tonight. It was awesome!
11:38 “I’m busy back here!”
THATS WHAT SHE SAID
Made it. Loved it! Thank you.
We watched this last night and made it for dinner tonight. Thank you! It was easy and tasted amazing.
5:40 "About a tablespoon."
Puts in 5 tablespoons.
Sam, you used chorizo, shrimp, peppers, rice and accidentally made paella and just don't know it yet. 😂😂
Correct. I love his videos, but chorizo changes the entire palette of this dish from Cajun to Spanish. I'd eat it in a heartbeat, but it ain't jambalaya
Chorizo doesn't go in paella....ever
@@DanHardingcomedy It goes in there if I put it there
@@TheRprecupjr it was actually a creole dish since he added tomatoes but your point still stands.
Yes! I love Sam but this ain’t jambalaya
Thanks for this recipe! We are huge fans at home, we watch every week but this is the first time i tried making something! Loved it! So easy to make!
Wow, made this for breakfast this morning, and it’s truly out of this world. Many thanks for the upload!
Never had this cuz I live in Norway, but you make so much delicious looking food that I have to try for myself ^^
This should be a huge step up from eating Lutefisk!
@@robertgiresi9515 For sure yeah
How do you like your mushy fish? Pickled or Smoked?
@@adamburdt8794 I don't do either tbh I usually cook it in the oven with some tin foil over
HAHA I LIVE IN LOWELL !!! Finally the small town was noticed awesome job Sam.
If u want a belt, let me know
Thanks for the inspiration. I will cook Jambalaya for dinner tonight. I will post it and watch for it.
I just made this tonight, I’ve never done jambalaya and it was wonderful! My husband even went back for seconds which is a sure sign he liked it! Thanks for all that you do informative and entertaining I just love you guys
Very cool Mike from Indiana. Sam looked legit giddy.
I just came to the comments to read all the "OMG NO TOMATOES, OMG NO CHORIZO." All southern cooking is about using WHAT YOU HAVE.. Same with chicken & dumplings, and brunsiwick stew, gumbo, fried chicken, biscuits & gravy.. and everything else that tastes amazing.. there is no WRONG way to make it.. as long as it tastes good..
honestly for how hand wavy this recipe is on the seasoning chorizo might make more sense if you want some more heat in your jambalaya. If you don't like as much heat, seek kielbasa instead since you can basically buy that anywhere.
No it's not. You don't eat peanut butter ketchup pineapple and pickles a sandwich. Southerners don't just throw whatever they in a pot. Sam always put his own twist to a dish that only he has a stomach for.he use Japanese mayonnaise on everything.it's his favorite condiment. he also likes to use alvacdo oil.southerners use lard or vegetable oil and bacon grease.he can be over the top at times.i expect a professional cook to be a professional.and that's my opinion.
For real. You can go through different regions any they do things differently. Some are real sticklers for tradition while others like to throw the rules out the window. For me, when it comes to Cajun/Creole cuisine, I'll bend the rules a little. I wouldn't have considered Chorizo. There is a market across town that carries Chorizo from Spain that could be interesting. Mexican Chorizo is all over the place here. Andouille is sold already packaged at my local Sprouts. I don't know who makes it fresh.
@@josephpayne4591 they literally say in the comment “as long as it tastes good” your example of a peanut butter ketchup pineapple and pickle sandwich does not sound good. They never say that southerners throw whatever they want in the pot, they say that even if it isn’t exactly “traditional” the point is to use what is ready and available to you. Also, speaking as someone with southern family Mayo is in almost anything that we eat. If something is called “salad” it’s most likely got insane amounts of Mayo in it. Avocado oil is neutral flavored just like vegetable oil but is healthier, so it’s not going to affect the flavor.
Bruh you’re wrong af. Lmao
Wow! I just made this and it’s delicious! I used smoked sausage instead of the chorizo, and old bay. I love the added tomatoes to this dish. That’s what’s great about cooking, you can add or delete, and make it to your liking. And I like this very much LOL I served this with a nice sourdough loaf, fresh out of the oven 😋
Tony's seasoning is the absolute BEST! I put it on everything! It's great on boiled eggs!
To everyone complaining about it not being truly cajun: Let everyone that has never bastardized another people's cuisine cast the first meatball.
Damn. That's the best comment I've read on here. You go!
Too true and I can excuse him even more because he's not Jamie Oliver or Gordon Ramsay who are supposed to be among the best chefs in the world and they screw up . Jamie Oliver has claimed to make things 💯 authentic and it's an outright lie. And Gordon can't even make grilled cheese.
Well Said
I made this last night and it was amazing! Thank you for giving everyone ideas for dinner because everyone hates that question? "What's for dinner?" I was going to share a picture of what I made here but it wouldn't let me insert it in the comments. If you want to "see" it, I will be more than happy to share it with you, just tell me where... Thanks again for all you guys do!
This is so good. I had to use Anndouille sausage and it turned out amazing. Perfect rice to shrimp, sausage ratio. Thanks STCG!!!
Yummy, Going to try this.
Oh shit. You're actually using Tony's. This cajun gives mad props for that. However, tomatoes are more of a NOLA thing which is more creole than cajun. My biggest peeve is the mixing of surf and turf. You typically want to only use sausage with chicken or some kind of beef and shrimp with seafood. If you mix sausage and seafood, you'll likely only taste the sausage.
Slap Ya Mama is betta. 😁
@@AndrewCrankypants Bon Caca is better 😆
👍Tony's is great stuff! I also agree to some extent about the shrimp. You can get away with shrimp+chicken or shrimp+ham, but spicy sausage overpowers shrimp when cooked together.
Mmmmm
Made this for me first time tonight thank you for your time and great tasting recipe!
I was craving this and didn't know how to start. Thanks Sam. Be blessed man.
Please don’t stop the “Thats what she said” jokes. It’s one of the best parts of the banter between you all!
Yes I love it to 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Oh but he can't, the sheep called him to them and he can't help but follow.
All I learned is that I want that pan.
Looks similar to my All Clad D5 except for the gold handles.
Made this tonight... simple and awesome
Sounds great! I'll have to make this soon.
Glad to see Cajun country represented in the threads 😂 Enough said but we’ll credit Sam style “jam”. Still love ya Sam.
But jambalaya isn't cajun food though it was adopted by them.
"JAMBALAYA!!!!!!!!"
-Newman
Classic 😂😎🤙
I'm glad I didn't have to scroll too far to find this comment.
has become my favorite and go to. You ALL do great work!
Made this for my husband who doesn’t like to try new things and HE LOVED IT! So did I! Thank you!
Add some chopped and seared chicken thighs and crab and a whole lot of cayenne pepper
Sounds interesting. To say the least. Meaning chicken thighs is high on my like list.
@@Jaden48108 When I make Jambalaya (in the oven). I sear the sausage then I sear the thighs to like a medium rare in same pan. It cooks the rest of the way in the oven with the shrimp and/or crab.
I think I woulda pre cooked my sausage more first. and used the rendered fat to cook the trinity.
Exactly.
What's the 'trinity'?
Uninformed Australian here.
@@gk6993 Onion,Bell pepper, Celery. It's like the cajun version of a mirpoix.
I made this and it's super amazing. I live in the UK so made my own spice mix
1/3 cup paprika
3 tablespoons dried oregano
3 tablespoons ground black pepper
2 tablespoons dried basil
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoons cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon granulated onion
4 teaspoons dried thyme
4 teaspoons granulated garlic
then added 1 Tblspn of this mix to the Jambalaya
My nephew just graduated high school. He is special needs because he almost drowned when he was three. He wants to become a chef despite his disability and wants to open a restaurant with me. He always wanted to make jambalaya and so I'm using this recipe to teach him when we host my mom's birthday party this weekend. (We previously made your Greek Feast together). Thanks Sam!
"Think about how someone is going to eat your food" -- leaves the tail on his shrimp.... lol
For better handling lol
I was thinking the exact same thing. Cut the tails off, no worrying about them and you can just enjoy the delicious meal you've made.
@@ximinipot dont cut! just gently yank the shell off. that little piece of tail meat is great!
This is a dish which will taste 10 times better if served on JUMBALAY MORNING.
Wow!!!! It look very delicious is your recipe.❤❤❤
Sam you are the best... You have helped me improve my cooking skills and have given me enjoyment for cooking... Thank you so much and keep them videos coming..
