VERY EASY CAJUN PASTA WITH SHRIMP AND SMOKED SAUSAGE

Many of you loves jambalaya. This is why we share another jambalaya recipe. This recipe brings all of your favorite flavors and transform them into a tasty pasta dish.If you enjoy jambalaya, you’ll enjoy this recipe that brings all of those flavors and tosses them up into a big bowl of pasta.

A good news about this recipe: it’s quick and fast. Very useful for lunch or dinner in hurry. Of course you can leave the sauce to cook and simmer awhile to let the ingredients mingle and develop with even more flavor, but this hit that sweet spot I was looking for without any additional time.

You absolutely can vary up the type of pasta with any of your favorite kind. For me I prefer using fettuccine noodles, but I can guarantee that this works with pretty much anything. It’s very important to incorporate both shrimp and sausage to truly get the flavors we’re going for, but maybe some crawfish would be nice as well, or even a seafood version.
