Cheesecake Factory Spicy Jambalaya Arancini FAQs

01 Does Cheesecake Factory Spicy Jambalaya Arancini contain shrimp or shellfish?

02 Can you order Cheesecake Factory Spicy Jambalaya Arancini without sausage (vegetarian)?
▼

No, Spicy Jambalaya Arancini cannot be prepared vegetarian or pork-free because the finely diced smoked pork andouille sausage is folded directly into the Arborio risotto batch before the rice balls are hand-rolled and breaded.
