Spicy Creole Stew - Ready to Heat with Chicken Thigh, Sausage & Shrimp

We’ve merged hearty gumbo with the bold flavors of jambalaya in this dish that will transport you to right to New Orleans. Here, we’ve simmered shrimp, chicken, and spicy andouille sausage in an aromatic tomato base loaded with onions, bell peppers, and celery. Bonus: Each serving comes with hot sauce, so you can kick up the spice level like a Louisianan if you like!
