I wanted to let you know, I just used my instant pot for the second time and I made your Jambalaya recipe which I followed exactly, it came out perfectly. Thank you for sharing it with us.

This was a great recipe. I used Kitchen Basics Seafood Broth. Turned out great!

[@PainttheKitchenRed]

Thank you for commenting - I'm so glad you liked the recipe!

[@hankreynolds6050]

Your recipe book comes from Chez Helene, a renown New Orleans soul food restaurant that is unfortunately no longer there. The food was fabulous.

[@PainttheKitchenRed]

Hi Hank, thanks for commenting - yes, it's Austin Leslie's book. But I'd never eaten there, sadly! Glad to hear from someone who did!

[@cnnw3929]

Looks like it's not too difficult. I may try this. Thanks. :)

[@PainttheKitchenRed]

Hope you enjoy it. It isn't difficult at all. Just make sure you keep the rice at the top. Good luck.

[@roberthodge2771]

A rice pot rice paddle will lift and stir gently on pushing the rice under the liquid level.

[@PainttheKitchenRed]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@dkyelak]

I have a cheat that helps with any recipe- once everything is ready to pressurize, have a second inner pot ready to avoid the dreaded burn warning. I noticed deglazing has to be perfect and even the smallest bit of residue stuck on the pot causes the burn warning.

[@PainttheKitchenRed]

Thank you for sharing your tip!

[@harbanlutchman6563]

Just bought instant pot, do you have books on recipes using the instant pot.. Thanks a lot Bans🇨🇦

[@PainttheKitchenRed]

Not yet! But there are plenty of published books by various authors covering the gamut of cuisines.

[@danaparsons6189]

Made this today it was so yummy Thank you!!

[@PainttheKitchenRed]

Glad you liked it, my pleasure!

If I use cooked shrimp, should I still add it at the end and let it heat up for the 10 minutes?

[@PainttheKitchenRed]

If you're using cooked shrimp you might want to let the rice do a 10 minute natural release (www.paintthekitchenred.com/instant-pot-natural-release-or-quick-release/) and then stir in the shrimp and remove from heat. You don't want to have tough shrimp.

[@DragonFruitDelish1]

What size inner liner is your instant pot? I have a mini which is 3 qts

[@PainttheKitchenRed]

I usually cook this recipe in a 6 quart. Rarely in an 8 quart and have never tried the 3 quart. You might be able to fit it in the 3 quart - just keep in mind that the rice and liquid should not go past the 1/2 full line. You could reduce the recipe by a third and give it a try. Same cook time.

[@vanillamillz]

Food burn, food burn, damn it!

[@PainttheKitchenRed]

Oh no. Did you make sure not to stir in the rice? Have you cooked other foods in it successfully? You could try adding an extra 1/4 cup of water.

I noticed deglazing has to be perfect and even the smallest bit of residue stuck on the pot causes the burn warning. The non stick inner pot works great!

[@BOOMER28401]

needs more liquid!

[@PainttheKitchenRed]

Sorry to hear you had trouble. Hopefully it'll turn out better next time.
