Easy Cajun Jambalaya image

I have always loved Cajun foods but my wife doesn't like the 'kick.' In response to this, I made my traditional Jambalaya without the heat. Everyone loved this recipe and I hope you will to. Enjoy!

This jambalaya was a little too spicy for me, but it was still very good. I will definitely be making this again, but I will use less cayenne pepper next time.
