SPICY CAJUN SHRIMP AND SAUSAGES

Spicy Cajun Shrimp and Sausages image

Delicious over rice. The original recipe ingredients are for 1 tablespoon Cajun or Creole seasoning - this seemed like a lot for us, so adjust per your taste. The original recipe also used Creole mustard and I used Dijon mustard (reducing the amount that was called for). Recipe source: Bon Appetit (February 2007)

Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling while you're cooking.
Season Generously: Cajun food is known for its bold flavors, so don't be afraid to season your dish liberally with spices like paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
Use a Heavy-Bottomed Pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute heat evenly and prevent your food from burning.
Cook the Sausage First: Before adding the shrimp, cook the sausage until it is browned and cooked through. This will help to release its flavor into the dish.
Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
Serve Immediately: Cajun shrimp and sausage casserole is best served immediately, while it is still hot and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Cajun shrimp and sausage casserole is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
