FULL HOUSE JAMBALAYA

Full House Jambalaya image

We call this Full house because it includes, chicken, ham, sausage, okra and shrimp. Feel free to add or subtract with this recipe. I use what I have available and what the tastes are of the person I am making this for. Some don't care for okra so I leave it out. A friend likes oysters added to his, so I add them when he is...

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The chicken was tender and juicy, the shrimp were plump and flavorful, and the rice was cooked to perfection.
