Jambalaya is a Creole and Cajun rice dish of French, African, and Spanish influence, consisting mainly of meat and vegetables mixed with rice.
This jambalaya is gentle yet flavor packed—great for the person whose stomach doesn’t tolerate a spicy hot dish. Yet, you can turn up the heat on this great one-pot meal by increasing the Tabasco. Don’t like shrimp? Substitute chicken or lean pork for the shrimp.
