jambalaya noun[ U or C ] uk /ˌdʒæm.bəˈleɪ.ə/ us /ˌdʒæm.bəˈlaɪ.ə/ a dish from the southern US consisting of rice, prawns (= small sea creatures), chicken, and vegetables: The jambalaya was thick with a lot of meat. The Cajuns used these ingredients in their jambalayas and gumbos during the 18th century. Add the shrimp to the jambalaya so it can absorb and mix with the other flavours. The restaurant serves everything from raw oysters to jambalaya. I think of this dish as more of a jambalaya than a paella.
