I love the addition of okra to this jambalaya. It gives it a nice slimy texture that I really enjoy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my jambalaya didn't turn out at all like the pictures. It was really watery and bland.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my jambalaya turned out really salty. I think I must have added too much salt.

The rice in my jambalaya turned out a little mushy. I think I'll cook it for less time next time.

This jambalaya was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.
