This crab jambalaya recipe makes for a real hearty meal. Add a side salad and you're good go, but this is so hearty you really don't need anything else to add to make it a filling meal....maybe some bread and butter!?!

Interesting what they say at Wikipedia about Jambalya (It will open into a new window, so you can come back to this recipe.)

There's a special way to tell when crabs are done cooking. Their shells will turn bright red when properly cooked.
Already cooked crab meat is widely available. Although it's often sold frozen, seek out fresh cooked crab meat for the best flavor and texture. In the months of September through April, during most crab fishing seasons is when the local fish markets often sell cooked whole crabs. Ask for them to be cleaned and cracked, or take them home crack them yourself and then remove the meat.
