Mrs. wanna-be chef is back. I made
jambalaya this weekend. Costco does not carry andouille sausage. bummer. so this is shrimp (only) jambalaya.
Do not be scared of the list of spices. You probably have all in your pantry already. I doubled the recipe because we love left overs. For this recipe, I used both canned diced tomatoes and fresh roma tomatoes.
