Recipe View 5 mins Finish with Shrimp and Bacon: Gently stir in the shrimp and reserved crispy bacon just before serving. If using pre-cooked salad shrimp, heat through until pink and opaque. If using raw shrimp, ensure it cooks for approximately 5 minutes, until fully cooked. (Approx. 5 minutes)

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce along with the Cajun seasoning.
Feel free to substitute andouille sausage for the smoked sausage for a more authentic Cajun flavor.
If you don't have beef broth, you can substitute it with vegetable broth or more chicken broth.
For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken and sausage before adding them to the pot.
Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your preference. Start with less and add more to taste.
