Jambalaya
Is a Cajun dish consisting mainly of meat and vegetables mixed with rice. Traditionally, the meat is always a sausage of some sort, along with chicken and seafood such as shrimp. It is a Louisiana classic so there is some spice involved. Jambalaya is similar to (but distinct from) Gumbo another rice and meat dish known in Louisiana cuisine.
