Jambalaya with shrimps and smoked sausage
"Jambalaya is a famous rice dish known from Cajun cooking and Creole cuisine in Louisiana. The original recipe contains a smoked sausage called andouille, but if you can’t find it, just use any other smoked sausages. It’s sometimes even cooked with alligator meat, chicken, pork, and other seafood, so just go with what you like best."
