Shrimp & Oyster Jambalaya
6 Servings
A line band of flavor. A big rolla’ from NOLA. This shrimp and oyster jambalaya recipe is drenched in all those big, bayou flavors that give seafood a real kick. The hardest part of the recipe is waiting for the rice to cook, it’s that easygoing. Our tip, put some brassy tunes on and swing while you stir.
