Jambalaya image

From her home in Topeka, Kansas, subscriber Betty May shares her recipe for quick-to-cook jambalaya. "Unlike some versions, this one doesn't have to simmer for hours," she notes. "Folks who like their food a bit spicy are sure to enjoy it. Jalapeno and cayenne pepper add some zip to the shrimp and chicken."

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this jambalaya was surprisingly mild. The flavors were still very rich and flavorful, without being too overpowering.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have a bag of leftover rice in the fridge, and this is a delicious way to use it up.
