Weekend Recipe - Best Ever Jambalaya

This month the recipe theme is Jambalaya so here is another Jambalaya recipes.  What I find is that which sausage you want to use, what seafoods you add, and if you add pork and/or chicken is regional due to availability or culture.  This recipes I found in Taste of Home Magazine several years back, but I no longer have the date of the magazine, as I only saved the clipping.  I'm not sure I think it is the best ever, but you can be the judge.
