This jambalaya was a disappointment. The rice was undercooked and the vegetables were mushy. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I thought this jambalaya was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste and the rice was a little too mushy.

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

I love how versatile this recipe is. I was able to use some leftover chicken and shrimp I had in the fridge, and it turned out just as good as when I use fresh ingredients. I also like that I can adjust the spiciness level by adding more or less caye
