That sounds amazing. I cannot wait to try your awesome recipe.
Jambalaya has never been my favorite because of what goes in it. But everything you make on this blog just looks outstanding and I need to try it.
Now this would be a really fun recipe to make. I’m definitely in the mood for a meal like this and it’s meaty enough for the guys!
What I love about jambalaya is that you just toss everything in the pot and that’s it. So packed with flavor and quite filling too. I also like that it’s spicy. Thanks for the recipe!
This looks DELICIOUS! I wonder if you could use Italian seasoning, instead of all of the other seasonings?
Easy one dish meal! I love jambalaya and I usually experiment with different kinds of meat. I will try your recipe too!
