If I’m making this for a group of 15 is tripling the recipe good enough? 18 cups of chicken stock seems like WAY too much, but I’m used to cooking for 4-6, which is what I’d assume one “batch” like he made in the video.

So I made this last night at my boyfriends because surprisingly he had everything but some celery. It turned out so good!!! I make gumbo all of the time but I’ve never made jambalaya before but it is a very similar process. It made together really fast. I have a 12inch cast iron skillet and I made everything it that. I love that it is a one pan dish as well. I added shrimp in mine and I cooked that hand and then the step where you add the butter, that’s when i folded in the shrimp as well. The only reason i did the shrimp separate was because i didnt want them to over cook. I didn’t follow the recipe to a T because I didnt measure everything out but I mostly just eyeballed everything to what i though he said, but again it came out AMAZING!!! Great easy simple recipe
