You put a thick dry rub of salt, black pepper, white pepper, cayenne, paprika, and cinnamon (?!) on sliced pork and let it marinate several days. Then smoke it for several hours. I chop it up and put it in the freezer, then throw a handful in whenever I make Jambalaya. I'm allergic to shrimp :( so my Jambalaya usually includes chicken, sausage, and tasso. I've wanted to add some smoked oysters but I'm afraid it will scare my family off :lol: EDIT - I did make some Alligator Jambalaya once - Tasty! [ Edited by: MadDogMike 2010-01-27 19:13 ]
