What does this look like?

[nuthatched]

I made jambalaya for tomorrow. I have no base of what its supposed to taste like so we'll see how it turns out.
It has:
Tomaters
Garlic
Onion bay leaf
Paprika
Smoked sausage 2lbs
30/40 shrimp 2lbs
Chili powder
Clams
Rotisserie chicken bits
Rice
Bell peppers
Oregano
Pepper

anything missing?

or garlic boiled in crawfish boil with the onions, mushrooms, corn and potatoes will also work. Cut the top off and suck it right out of the husk.

Can someone explain to me what "too much garlic" is?
I mean, roasted garlic dipped in butter with a potato in the kitchen is delicious.

"too much garlic" is how you weed out the less desirable relatives and hangers on at family functions.
"We all know you're just here for the wine and pie, Aunt Colleen!"

For me there's no such thing, but everyone else whines that it burns going down

Just following the "authentic recipe" But we all know how that works .
I'm of the mind that good food isn't found in recipes since nobody writes it down...
Edit, Grammarly is a trying to speak on my behalf and she's failing...

Anything tastes good coming out of that well worn crawfish pot all covered in red spices

It has ground celery seed since I didn't have proper celery...
I'll have to try it again with a better recipe.

Cajun cooking is derived like soul food. It's what us poor people eat.
Not fancy, but can be.
And everyone's Momma makes it different. There is no wrong way.
I asked Mom how to make gumbo and she said get what's in the frig and put it in a pot.

How does a cajun make a cake?
First you peel an onion. More if you are expecting more than just the family.
