Notes
- I am allergic to shellfish, but still cook with it because the household likes it.
- The beauty of this recipe is that you can make it a sausage-only version, adding shrimp at the very end, so I can still taste as I go.
- Pairs well with fluffy and slightly sweet jasmine rice as a nice balance to the spicy sausage and cayenne pepper.
