"After much experimentation, I finally hit upon a formula that produced a nicely spicy dish. I figured I'd better write it down immediately before I forgot what I did!"

Excelent! I love the fresh taste, spice level, and flavor layering of this well planned version. I made the recipe as directed except for needing to simmer on low instead of medium low. The results were perfectly cooked rice, colorful veggies with a bit of crunch and tender shrimp.The restrained use of tomatoes allowed all the wonderful flavors to shine together in a lovely balance. Thanks Aimee67 for this delicious and easy to make main dish - it's a keeper!

We enjoyed this different version of Shrimp Jambalaya. I did add some cayenne pepper as it was not quite as spicy as we like. This will be a repeater in our house. Thanks for posting Aimee67.
