For a quick and comforting weeknight meal, this recipe can’t be beat. I love the combination in Jambalaya of the rice, smoked sausage, and shrimp. It is so flavorful and sure to please! Serve with french bread and butter, and a green salad.
1 (8 oz.) box red beans and rice mix
1/2 pound smoked sausage, sliced
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 T. olive oil
1/2 pound cooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute sausage and onion in oil until onion is tender. Add the shrimp, tomatoes, brown sugar and hot sauce if using.
