Jambalaya image

From her home in Topeka, Kansas, subscriber Betty May shares her recipe for quick-to-cook jambalaya. "Unlike some versions, this one doesn't have to simmer for hours," she notes. "Folks who like their food a bit spicy are sure to enjoy it. Jalapeno and cayenne pepper add some zip to the shrimp and chicken."

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this jambalaya recipe is mild enough for me to enjoy. It's still flavorful and delicious, but it doesn't have that spicy kick that some jambalaya recipes have.
