Mama Delilah's Jammin Jambalaya image

Nothing says lovin like some spicy Louisiana cooking. I absolutely LOVE making this when I have the time. I'm toning down the amount of creole seasoning that I use, because I tend to be a little heavy handed with it. The amount is an approximate - season to your taste.

This jambalaya is a bit spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably cut back on the cayenne pepper next time.
