If sauce is too loose just add a little cornstarch mixed with water (slurry) and simmer until thickened (repeat for desired consistency)
-
After adding sausage and shrimp back to the pan be sure to take it off the heat quickly so the shrimp won't over cook.
-
Adding the cream changes the flavor, adjust seasoning to taste. You can also add more Cajun seasoning and some paprika for color and taste.

Brown chicken sausages well for texture purposes.
