Real Louisiana Jambalaya

Here in Louisiana Jambalaya is a Cajun staple....You can go to any restaurant around south Louisiana to get Jambalaya and every place will cook it a different way. You could go to 10 different places and get 10 different variations of this dish. You will find that you can order it anywhere but after you have it home cooked it is just wasting money because any restaurant will make it bland to please the public!! Here is my recipe... If you make it you will LOVE it!!
