Full House Jambalaya image

We call this Full house because it includes, chicken, ham, sausage, okra and shrimp. Feel free to add or subtract with this recipe. I use what I have available and what the tastes are of the person I am making this for. Some don't care for okra so I leave it out. A friend likes oysters added to his, so I add them when he is...

This jambalaya was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my jambalaya turned out really bland. I think I must have forgotten to add salt or something.

I was disappointed with this jambalaya. The rice was overcooked and the shrimp was tough. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the jambalaya turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add more vegetables. I think some chopped bell peppers and celery would be a nice addition.

This was the best jambalaya I've ever had! The rice was cooked perfectly, and the shrimp and chicken were tender and flavorful. The sauce was also amazing, with just the right amount of spice. I will definitely be making this again.
