RECIPE BY: Shealicious

This is my dad's recipe straight from the N.O. He adapted it to my busy lifestyle. I only cook with organic foods but if you dont have access to them or dont want to pay the extra money this recipe will still be phenomenal! Add as much cayenne as you like, I prefer mine on the milder side.

    Right after Hurricane Katrina, my church was housing about 50 people from N.O. I made a huge pot of Jambalaya for them one night using this recipe. Everyone loved it very much. Nearly everyone raved about it.
