Started my day off with an Egg Beater's Egg White Omelet with my 3 Bean Buffalo Chili and Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese, oh and a few shakes of Frank's Red Hot Sauce. Love the flavor Frank's adds to dishes. Got some laundry done and went to kroger for Mom. For dinner tonight it was leftovers, I reheated the Shrimp and Andouile Sausage Pasta Gumbo.
No way I was going to let the Gumbo leftovers go to waste! The Roux, Pasta, Shrimp, Andouille Sausage, and Spices combine to make some delicious leftovers. Just add the leftovers to a small sauce pan and reheated on medium low till heated through. It was every bit as good as it was the first time it was served. Love them leftovers! I've left the recipe and the original post for it below. For dessert later aslice of Baked Pillsbury Nut Quick Bread that I had baked earlier today.
I used a box of Zatarain’s Gumbo Pasta Dinner Mix for the Gumbo base. It uses Pasta instead of Rice. Very easy to prepare, takes about 25-30 minutes. I just boiled the stock that was in the packet,sliced Johnsonville Andouille Sausage and a few shakes of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce for 10-15 minutes. Then I added Extra Large Shrimp and simmered another 5-10 minutes. Said and done the Gumbo is ready to serve and It turned out fantastic! Nice flavor, incredible tasting stock, meaty Shrimp and Sausage, and plenty of Pasta, makes one easily prepared hearty and delicious dish.
