I am from Asia and never head this recipe but it looks delicious and nutritious. I will definitely try this recipe.
Chris – thanks for the dinner recommendation. We are staying at the World of Golf – we will definitely check it out!
I'd prefer your version, I haven't liked shrimp since we moved away from Florida š
I see you're doing the TPC in May. Have a blast, we went every year when we lived there. While the 17th hole gets all the TV time, the 11th and 18th were my favorites as a spectator.
If you are staying in St. Augustine, try to go to Gypsy Cab Company for dinner. It was one of our favorites back then.
I've always thought of Jambalaya as something complecated to make, but this makes it seem simple enough to try
I've never tried jambalya this way…I'll have to give it try! We have jambalya at least twice a month, so mixing it up will be good!
Looks delicious. I love Cajun food!
Looks fabulous! As you know I made Jambalaya for the first time for Super Bowl. Loved it.
