For
a change of pace, Andouille sausage is delicious ~ add some shrimp and
seasonings and you’re sure to enjoy a tasty meal!
Andouille
sausage is French in origin, having a unique spicy flavor, being made primarily
from pork, garlic, red and black peppers, wine and onions. It is cased in a blackened skin, and then is
heavily smoked over pecan logs and sugar cane.
It can be served cold, in slices, as an hors d’oeuvre; however, it is
mainly used in Cajun and Creole dishes such as jambalaya and gumbo.
Cajun
cuisine is one of our favorites and always reminds us of NOLA ~ actually, I
can’t get enough of either of them. Serving
it over angel hair pasta is pretty great!

I made made dishes sort of like this over the years. I am dismayed by how many recipes all you, my blogger buddies, have posted in the last couple of days that leave me limp as a noodle with desire.
DELICIOUS!!! is exactly how it looks and sounds and I fill put it with my low-cal dishes to try :-)
Having been raised in New England, Southern food isn't something that I had a lot of. This looks delish!
If is is Cajun I know it will be good; great memories of N'awlins.

I can tell from the rich color how wonderful this must be.
Un plato delicioso.
