Saturday night or not... Jambalaya always hits the spot!

Saturday night in Louisiana, you can be pretty sure they're havin Jambalaya.

You will need:1 pound of Sweet Italian Sausage or Sweet Brats and about one pound (depending on number of guests) of jumbo frozen shrimp (thawed/tail removed prior to cooking), onion, cayenne pepper, rice and hot sauce.

To begin, chop one onion and saute in olive oil until browned. Push aside in the skillet and drop the sausage (casing removed) as small bit sizes into the skillet to brown. Next, bring the onion back in over onto the sausage and add your spices: cayenne pepper, garlic powder, coriander, red pepper flakes, black pepper and salt. Add about 1/4 cup of beef stock, stir and cover to let simmer on low.

Prepare to cook the rice. Boil water about 2 and 1/2 cup with a pinch of salt, pour in 1 and 1/2 cup of long grain rice. If you are having more than 4 guests, double this.

When the rice is done, drain and pour out onto a serving plate. Then pour out the sausage and shrimp in sauce (any remaining juices) from the skillet on top of the rice.

Get out your favorite hot sauces and beverage - and whew wee!
