For a deeper, smokier flavor, consider adding a 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika along with the other spices. Feel free to substitute the red snapper with other firm white fish like cod or grouper. If you don't have mushroom broth, chicken or vegetable broth can be used as a substitute. However, mushroom broth provides a unique umami flavor. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference. If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper or omit it altogether.

May 9, 2025I substituted shrimp for the snapper, and it was still delicious! The mushroom broth added a great depth of flavor.

Jan 2, 2025I've made jambalaya before, but this recipe is by far the best I've tried. The snapper was perfectly cooked, and the spices were spot-on. I'll definitely be making this again!
