Cajun Shrimp and Sausage is an ideal meal after the season of bingeing, We can now slow down a little bit and start enjoying light meals. When you hear “Cajun Shrimp”, think of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana from the USA. I had the opportunity to taste a lot of Cajun dishes when I used to work with Americans from Louisiana and Texas, and they really love to cook and come up with great tasting meals.
Crawfish, shrimp, and andouille sausage are staple meats used in a variety of Cajun dishes. The Cajun Shrimp and Sausage recipe here uses only fresh shrimps, sausage, corn, butter and spices. This easy to make dish has a sweet, salty and spicy taste in one rich, flavorful sauce.
The original recipe calls for Andouille sausages but the deli I went to did not have any available. Since I was in a hurry, I settled for Landjaeger sausages but will do this again with the right kind of sausage for a more authentic flavor. The corn may be substituted with potatoes, sweet potatoes or squash.
Cajun Shrimp and Sausage is the best 20 minute meal packed with awesome cajun flavor with shrimp, sausage, and corn. This makes a great low carb meal. This is a great family meal. Most restaurants will serve this dish with French fries. But being Filipino, it is also delicious served over rice.
Shrimp and sausage go so well together! You can also use pork or chicken sausage if you cannot find the exact type. Cajun spices pack in a little bit of heat and lots of flavor!
If you’re in a hurry, and want an easy flavorful shrimp – this is the recipe for you!
