This is my take on jambalaya encompassing the essence of the dish without a lot of fuss. These flavors mimic the flavors that have been key to jambalaya since it's origin around the early 1800's. I omitted the traditional okra. Not a big fan of okra!! Nonwithall, this recipe is super simple, simply delicious. Great as a main course or a slammin' side dish. Either way, flavor orgy in your mouth! Oui Oui!!
