Cajun Shrimp and Andouille in Cream Sauce image

This is a wonderful recipe that I came across on another recipe site. I've modified it slightly to fit my tastes. This sauce is great served over pasta or dirty rice. This recipe is one I typically make for dinner parties or potlucks so it serves a crowd, but it can easily be cut down to a family appropriate amount.

I'm going to try making this dish with different types of sausage. I think it would be great with kielbasa or chorizo.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out a little bit grainy. Other than that, the dish was still delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this dish was just right. The cream sauce helped to balance out the heat of the andouille sausage.
