Notes: | This was posted in one of my cigar forums. Several people have made
it and rave about it. The original pster said: This is an old family recipe and that means the measurements on the seasonings are approximate since we usually don't measure things like cayenne pepper. We generally season until it smells and taste right. Also, this is a "Red" jambalaya (from the tomatoes) which we only do when it has shrimp or other seafood in it. |
