My first experience with Jambalaya was a disaster!!! I was young and newly married and knew how to cook but had never tried anything "exotic" or new. One day my husband came home and said, "Wow...what smells so good?" I served up the Jambalaya and it was so hot (spicy) we could not eat it. I also had forgot to put the shrimp in. Well, I guess it was not a complete disaster...I got taken out to dinner that night.
