- 1 Tbsp. dried Cajun spices
- 1 medium onion, diced small
- 13.5 oz. andouille sausage, cut into 1/2″ slices
- 1 tsp. minced garlic

This looks really good. I would bet that you could use any type of sausage. Yum.
Absolutely! Especially if you don’t want it as spicy since the Andouille Sausage is spicy. You could even eliminate the Cajun spices with the shrimp to cool it down too. Thank you for visiting!
