This is a flavour packed alternative to the seafood Jambalaya you often find. The Cajun spice blend packs a punch with flavour and is not spicy hot. It's a great one pot meal that's probably more like 45 minutes to cook but for the last 30 minutes it's just simmering so not a lot of work there! Enjoy.
