Variations & swaps
Recipe Variations:
- Sausage: Andouille sausage has a little bit of a kick. If you'd like mild sausage, substitute a Polska Kielbasa, or other pork sausage.
- Add Shrimp: Jumbo, uncooked shrimp could be added in the same time as the rice and cooked with everything together. Or you could cook the shrimp separately (or thaw frozen cooked shrimp) and add it at the end.
