but my very limited learning on this is that jambalaya is more like paella and it's gumbo that needs the roux. is that right? I think I tried to make gumbo once before and it didn't come out too good, mostly over my efforts to make a shrimp shell broth and using the wrong damn sausage.

this was tasty, and I will do it again but I think I may have made it a little too soupy. not that we would know the difference!
