SPICY CAJUN SHRIMP AND SAUSAGES

Spicy Cajun Shrimp and Sausages image

Delicious over rice. The original recipe ingredients are for 1 tablespoon Cajun or Creole seasoning - this seemed like a lot for us, so adjust per your taste. The original recipe also used Creole mustard and I used Dijon mustard (reducing the amount that was called for). Recipe source: Bon Appetit (February 2007)

12 ounces andouille sausages, cut crosswise into diagonal 3/4-inch pieces (or your favorite smoked sausage)
1 onion, halved, thinly sliced
1 green pepper, cut into 1/2 inch wide strips (or use a red bell pepper for a prettier dish)
