    Damn, that looks good.
    Do you need orange juice what with all the liquid from the bourbon? How about substituting orange concentrate?

    That's a great question! When I used to make the orange juice concentrate (I don't anymore, as I now prefer bottled), I would use just two cans of water as opposed to the prescribed three because it tasted SO much better! LOL

    We also drink the natural out of a plastic bottle orange juice except that now it's doctor's orders that I give up orange juice so I have to cheat and sneak a glass about once a month. We also keep it on hand should my blood sugar ever take another nose dive.
    I asked because I've made delicious hot spiced cider during October by using orange juice concentrate added to the spiced and cooking cider. We add cloves and cinnamon. Of course you need to filter out the cloves and cinnamon sticks. Makes fabulous spiced cider. Add some rum for a kick during the holidays.
    Another reason for the question is the concentrate would make the marinade a little thicker which seems like it would be a good thing.

    I use liquid smoke rarely and dont use it if I am really smoking something. I usually use it on my instant pot pulled pork. It adds a nice flavor but isnt quite the same as a real smoke. Not sure I can give much advice on that.

    lol just noticed my misspell. I guess I rely on my phone to finish words for me to quickly sometimes. Given your history on here its appropriate :D. You can imagine me using your recipe with an angry face and shaking my fists at the sky while cooking.

    Oh, you actually want the recipe.
    Understand it with this:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jambalaya

    Then go to this:


    I'd consider adding some American jumbo shrimp and okra which I love. I would never buy any S.E. Asian shellfish since it is raised in water that is best described as sewer. American shrimp will cost more but I can't eat anything grown in sewer so the American seems well worth it. Besides, you're keeping the money and the jobs in this country.

    Sounds like the preparer is a highly successful sales person. Could sell the proverbial ice to an Eskimo or a bridge to a tourist or beach front property in Arizona.

    Muhaha, I love the taste of their little dead bodies.
    The ones that come in beer can be consumed live. Now, there's a treat.
    Vanilla custard with vanilla whipped cream is better.

    I like anything with peaches in it. I'd eat gravel if it had peaches in it and it was made by my wife.

    Chicken breast is only palatable to me when it's medium rare. Otherwise it's like eating cardboard.

    Means someone did it wrong. This wasn't cardboard.
