    Incredible!
    I made this for our first dinner with houseguests, and everybody loved it! It was just delicious, more enjoyable than most jambalaya I have in restaurants (because it's not too spicy for me, but you can add extra spice as desired so if you like it really hot, it's not problem!). - 1/23/08
