I'm not a fan of okra, so I left it out of my jambalaya. It was still very good, but I think it would have been even better with the okra.

This jambalaya was a lot of work, but it was worth it. The flavors were complex and delicious, and the rice was cooked to perfection. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone who loves Creole food.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this jambalaya without the chicken and sausage. It was still very flavorful and delicious. I added some extra vegetables, like bell peppers and mushrooms, to make up for the lack of meat.

I was disappointed with this jambalaya. The rice was overcooked and the sauce was bland. I think I'll stick to my usual jambalaya recipe.

This jambalaya was a little too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I'll try using less cayenne pepper next time.

This was my first time making jambalaya, and it turned out great! The instructions were easy to follow, and the dish came together quickly. I especially liked the addition of the okra, which gave the jambalaya a nice, slimy texture.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this jambalaya was surprisingly mild. The flavors were still very complex and delicious, and I didn't feel like I was burning my tongue. Great recipe!

I'm a Louisiana native, and this jambalaya is as good as any I've had in my home state. The shrimp, chicken, and sausage were all cooked perfectly, and the sauce was rich and flavorful. Highly recommended!
