Inch and a half! My kid's a heck of a cook. A perfect medium rare.

Oarin, I was just looking through your food pictures again and think the Rice, shrimp and sausage dish looks like it would be my favorite, even though the steak also looks amazing. I assume that it is Jambalaya?

When I make Jambalaya, I use this recipe from Emril that is fairly simple to make and delicious with great spice.

The jambalaya recipe is pretty simple, but it is one of my favorites.  I actually just use the Zatarain's jambalaya rice mix and add a can of the Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies.  We get some good andouile sausage and shrimp and add that with about 10 minutes cooking time left.

It looks great!  I will have to give that a try, thanks for passing along.

I've used almost the exact recipe, but your picture sure looks tastier.

I know some Cajuns and they use the Zatarains products;  they consider them authentic.
