This is amazing!!! I used Portuguese chourico sausage (not spanish chorizo, although that would work as well, as would linguisa) and it was awesome. Chourico has a lot less fat compared to andouille, which equals a far less "greasy" dish. I also used 2 pounds of shrimp instead of 1. I browned my chicken and sauteed the veggies as I was short on time. Also, I sauteed my sausage first to cook off some of the fat and I patted it with paper towels before adding to the slow cooker. Browning/sauteing the ingredients first allowed the dish to be done in 3 hours on high. In place of Cajun seasoning I used Emeril's Essence as it had the same ingredients as Cajun seasoning. Unless you like SUPER spicy cut the cayenne pepper down to 1/4-1/2 tsp which is what I did. Also, I used a few sprigs of fresh thyme in place of the dried. I use my slow cooker all the time and I have to say this is the best dish that has ever come out of it, hands down!!
