Jen's Jambalaya image

My family loves a lot of flavor and spice in our food and jambalaya delivers. This is my version of a New Orleans jambalaya that's got a nice kick to it but not overly hot for those whose tongues can't handle it.

I'm not a huge fan of jambalaya, but this recipe was pretty good. The flavors were well-balanced and the rice was cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this again if I was in the mood for jambalaya.

This jambalaya was just okay. I found the flavors to be a bit bland and the rice was a little mushy. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had added more spices and cooked the rice for a shorter amount of time.

Not a fan of this jambalaya. The flavors were too bold for my taste and the rice was overcooked. I think I would have enjoyed it more if the flavors were more subtle and the rice was cooked al dente.
