Sometimes referred to as red jambalaya this unique dish originated in the French quarter. Spanish and French influences bring life to this flavorful mix of rice, chicken, shrimp, spicy cajun sausage, tomato, trinity, and seasonings.

This versatile staple of New Orleans cuisine goes wonderfully with seafood, poultry, and vegetables.

Vegetables, seafood, and poultry is added last and the finished dish is served with steamed rice.

Thanks very much to the staff at Pere Antoine's for their exceptional service. I accidentally left my travel card there after breakfast yesterday but they kept it safe for me. Thanks also to our great server Shannon who reminded me: "I told you not to forget your card." But she saved the day and wouldn't even accept a tip!
