The Captain's Famous Jambalaya image

This jambalaya may have been a few places since the bayou, but it's a thick, rich dish that everyone will love! I've experimented with many types of seafood in this recipe, and the flavor and consistency of snapper works the best. Serve with French bread and hot red pepper sauce!

I thought this jambalaya was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland for my taste, and the rice was a little overcooked.

This jambalaya was a little too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.
