A delightful Cajun-inspired dish combining shrimp, sausage, and a tangy mustard sauce.
Season the shrimp with the Creole seasoning in a bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Let the shrimp sit for a few minutes after seasoning to absorb the flavors.
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage slices and cook until browned on both sides.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the sausage for a nice sear.
Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp to keep them tender.
Remove the shrimp and set aside. Add the remaining oil, onion, bell pepper, and thyme to the skillet. Sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the vegetables from sticking.
Add the chicken broth, mustard, and vinegar to the skillet. Stir and cook until the sauce thickens slightly.
Scrape the bottom of the skillet to incorporate any browned bits into the sauce.
Return the sausage and shrimp to the skillet. Stir to coat with the sauce and heat through.
Ensure everything is evenly coated with the sauce for consistent flavor.
Serve the dish warm, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
Pair with a side dish like rice or a salad for a complete meal.
