For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce along with the Cajun seasoning. Feel free to substitute other proteins such as chicken, crawfish, or even andouille sausage for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a drier Jambalaya, reduce the amount of chicken broth slightly. For a wetter Jambalaya, add a bit more broth. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or green onions before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
