Chicken and Shrimp Jambalaya
If you like spicy Cajun food, use the Homemade Cajun Seasoning. The Cajun seasoning blend you buy in the supermarket is less peppery than our home-mixed three-pepper combo.

I make this all the time! My husband, who is a Jambalaya snob, loves it. Quick & easy to prepare. I usually add some hot sauce as well, to spice things up. Tastes great!
