How to Make Commander's Shrimp Andouille Sausage With Creole Mustard

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of andouille sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds, and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside. Drain off excess grease, reserving about 1 tablespoon.
  3. Add 1 pound of shrimp, 1/2 cup of sliced scallions, 1 cup of sliced mushrooms, and 2 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until shrimp is just pink.
  4. Remove the shrimp mixture from the skillet and set aside with the sausage.
  5. Pour 1/2 cup of dry red wine into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Simmer until reduced by half, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Add 1/2 cup of heavy cream and simmer until reduced by one-third, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Stir in 1/4 cup of Creole mustard and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Return the sausage and shrimp mixture to the skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes to heat through and coat in the sauce.
  10. Serve immediately over 1 pound of cooked angel hair pasta. Garnish with extra scallions, if desired.
