Jambalaya

This jambalaya may have been a few places since the bayou, but it's a thick, rich dish that everyone will love! You can experiment with many types of seafood in this recipe, but the flavor and consistency of snapper works the best. Serve with French bread and hot red pepper sauce for an overall fantastic taste.
