Jambalaya With Shrimp image

This Creole rice dish is a quick, lower fat version of an old favorite. I've had this recipe for many years, but have modified it for my family's tastes. You can do the same. There's a lot of room for creativity here.

I followed the recipe exactly and the jambalaya was bland. I had to add a lot of extra seasoning to make it taste good.
