My First Recipe Post

I cannot claim in any stretch of the imagination that I am a good cook.  However, when I find something that even I can make I can't help but post it.  So a few weeks ago I bought a mini Taste of Home recipe pamphlet and found this AMAZING recipe. 

I love Cajun food and I was craving it when I found it. I made it for Andrew and I and while at my aunt's house I made it for them! So here it is...

Jiffy Jambalaya 

Ingredients

• 1 package (8 ounces) red beans and rice mix
• 1/2 pound smoked sausage, sliced
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon Crisco® Olive Oil
• 1/2 pound cooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined( though I just got the frozen bag of medium shrimp)
  
• 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon Louisiana-style hot sauce, optional (add to taste because we definitely like it much more spicy)
  

Directions

• Cook red beans and rice mix according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute sausage and onion in oil until onion is tender. Add the shrimp, tomatoes, brown sugar and hot sauce if desired. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until heated through. Stir in rice mixture. Yield: 4 servings.

This is a very filling recipe!  So it goes a long way...

Enjoy,
