Cajun Shrimp and Sausage

DESCRIPTION

This Summer Shrimp and Sausage Skillet is a bold, flavorful dish built around smoky, spicy Cajun-inspired seasoning. Shrimp and sausage are cooked to perfection with Spicelopedia® Rajun Cajun with Carolina Reaper, delivering a deep, fiery flavor that’s balanced by savory, comforting ingredients. Versatile and easy to serve, it works just as well on its own as it does over pasta, rice, or zucchini noodles. For an extra boost of freshness, add sliced zucchini or baby spinach. This is a simple, satisfying skillet meal with a Louisiana-inspired kick.
