"You can make that for me every night" was my husband's comment to this meal. I did make some changes to the recipe, as I couldn't bring myself to make *cold* Jambalaya, but the base recipe seemed healthier than other Jambalayas. I also wanted to add more spice to it, so here's what I did. 1. Cook rice to taste (we used instant brown rice). 2. Chop up ham, bell pepper, celery, and tomatoes, and put them in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the bacon, shrimp, 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce and 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper. Stir well. Simmer for 3-5 minutes. 3. Add cooked rice to saucepan and stir everything together. Cover and simmer for a few more minutes. Very tasty! Thanks for the recipe!!!

My husband, who adds soy sauce to everything he eats, loved this recipe. I thought it was way too salty. If I made it again, I'd add water to the soy sauce.
