This was tonight's dinner - crockpot jambalaya. It was really good. Just needed more Bayou Blast seasoning. Otherwise it was perfect for me & Steve. I chopped some thai finger peppers on top of my serving.

Many copycat recipes appear on the 'net and you can make a big batch or you can buy a jar of it almost any supermarket these days. ** I would check the shrimp after 45 minutes. Shrimp cook very quickly normally. 45 minutes should be just right but do check and make sure they are totally pink and firm to the touch. Texas Pete's hot sauce can be found at any supermarket. If you don't have Texas Petes, use whatever you have - Tabasco would be fine as it is from Louisiana. I just like the flavor of Texas Petes better. ===== RisaG Risa's Food Service http://www.geocities.com/radiorlg Updated 3/07/03 __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
