For a richer flavor, consider using smoked sausage instead of andouille.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes and hot pepper sauce to your desired level of spiciness.
Long-grain rice works best in this recipe to prevent a mushy texture.
Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pot while simmering to prevent the rice from sticking and burning.
