FAQs & Tips

What type of sausage should you use?

This recipe calls for smoked sausage or kielbasa. Andouille sausage is a great option if you want extra Cajun heat.

Nope! This is a true dump-and-go recipe slow cooker recipe. However, if you want to deepen the flavor, you can quickly sauté the sausage before adding it to the slow cooker, but it’s completely optional. This recipe will taste just as good if you omit this step.

I like thawed, peeled, and deveined shrimp for this recipe however technically any type of shrimp will work. Yes, you can even use frozen or cooked shrimp. How do you store leftovers?
