  8. Sere as is with a little bit of cooking liquid poured over each serving and a piece of crusty bread.
Tips: 
  • Substitute Andouille sausage for a sweet Italian sausage or chicken sausage if desired.
  • Substitute or add in blue crabs, crab claws or lobster in place of shrimp.
  • Omit crushed red pepper for a milder dish. Serve additional fresh chopped parsley or cilantro on the side to add to individual dishes.
  • Serve hot sauce or sriracha sauce on the side to spice it up more.
