THE CAPTAIN'S FAMOUS JAMBALAYA

The Captain's Famous Jambalaya image

This jambalaya may have been a few places since the bayou, but it's a thick, rich dish that everyone will love! I've experimented with many types of seafood in this recipe, and the flavor and consistency of snapper works the best. Serve with French bread and hot red pepper sauce!
