[In The Kitchen] Cajun Jambalaya Pasta With Shrimp, Chicken, And Sausage Recipe

This is one of my go-to "fancy" recipes. It's impressive when finished, but it's deceptively simple to make. I usually bust this out on the weekends for an at-home date night, since no matter what restaurant we go to, my husband orders the exact same thing: the Cajun pasta. I make mine with a lot of spice because my husband has the tolerance of a true New Orleans boy, even though he's from … [Continue reading...]
