Creole Jambalaya was born in New Orleans in the 18th century when Spanish settlers tried to recreate their beloved paella using Louisiana ingredients. Today it's a local staple, common from music festivals to Mardi Gras parties to quiet weeknight meals. Zatarain's has been the leader in authentic New Orleans style food since 1889.
