Fat Tuesday Noodles with Smoked Sausage and Shrimp. This Cajun spicy noodle dish starts with the authentic Cajun base of vegetables known as the trinity – onion, celery, and bell pepper – then adds red and black pepper and Italian seasoning to elevate the flavor. Make the recipe your own by using low fat smoked sausage for a more healthful dish or andouille sausage to turn up the heat.
