Jambalaya vs Paella​

Jambalaya and paella are both one-pot rice dishes loaded with medleys of meat, seafood, and vegetables. Spices differentiate jambalaya and paella. Saffron is the main spice flavoring paella, but it is not in jambalaya. Cayenne pepper gives jambalaya a bolder flavor profile than paella. Chefs typically prepare jambalaya in a pot, whereas paella is prepared in a specialized Paella  pan.
