EASY JAMBALAYA IN THE INSTANT POT

A dear friend in New Orleans shared her fabulous recipe for jambalaya with me several years ago and I’ve been impressing guests with it ever since.

I’m the only one she’s ever shared it with and it’s the one recipe I don’t share. *Update: I have finally shared this coveted recipe here.
