Overall, I thought this jambalaya was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This jambalaya was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

I wasn't a fan of the okra in this jambalaya. I think it would be better without it.

This jambalaya is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I added a dollop of sour cream to cool it down a bit.
