CAJUN SHRIMP AND ANDOUILLE IN CREAM SAUCE
This is a wonderful recipe that I came across on another recipe site. I've modified it slightly to fit my tastes. This sauce is great served over pasta or dirty rice. This recipe is one I typically make for dinner parties or potlucks so it serves a crowd, but it can easily be cut down to a family appropriate amount.

Tips:
- Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to ensure that the shrimp and andouille have enough room to cook evenly.
- If you don't have Cajun seasoning, you can make your own by combining paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
- Be sure to cook the shrimp and andouille until they are cooked through. Shrimp should be pink and opaque, and andouille should be slightly browned.
- If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the skillet after you have added the cream.
- Serve the shrimp and andouille over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
