Naming recipes is not my strong point at times.  I struggled with this one y’all!  Nothing sounded great in my head.  Nothing seemed to match the awesomeness and easiness of this recipe.  I wanted you to know it had a little Mexican flavor from the salsa con queso.  Hello, cheese dip…  And I certainly wanted you to know it was made in the rice cooker.  I couldn’t leave that off.  And then I couldn’t just call it Shrimp and leave off the “Rice.”  The struggle was real.

And now you’ve gotten a little glimpse into my indecisive brain.  It definitely slows me down sometimes.  But getting past this whole name thing, I NEED you to know how much we loved this little recipe.  If you haven’t tried your rice cooker for a whole meal, you’re missing out!  This Rice Cooker Sausage Jambalaya is one my popular recipes, and it’s a nice and easy way to have jambalaya on a weeknight.

I just have a normal 8 cup rice cooker.  I’m thinking I might need a bigger one soon because my family can tear up some rice!  My husband also went back for more on this cheesy shrimp & rice because he loved it so much.  I hope you give it a try, and please let me know how you liked it!!

    What if you don’t have a rice cooker? How else can this be made? It sounds delicious.

      You can do this in a sauce pan on the stove. After adding all the ingredients, bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover it with lid and let it cook for 20 minutes before checking to see if rice is cooked.

      Hi Wendy! Sorry for not being very clear on that recipe!! You add the shrimp in with everything else before starting the rice cooker. I’ll update the recipe!! And it is regular rice. I like to use medium-grain.
