"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."

Mama, MAMA this was FANTASTIC. I have tried 3 or your recipes so far and you have 15 stars. I cut the creole spice by about 20 % but still had a nice bite. I followed the recipe word for word and I am glad I did. I am freezing some and will find out if it freezes well. If you love great Jambalaya you have got to try this. Bill
