Gumbalaya is not really a thing. Until now. There’s gumbo and there’s jambalaya, but Kristie has taken the best bits from both and it’s delicious! Gumbalaya is very hearty with a thick broth, chicken, kielbasa and shrimp. It has just a few veggies and is tasty on its own, or served over cauli rice.
