If you cannot find andouille, use a smoked sausage, but you may want to add extra spice because the andouille is where most of the spice comes from. If you are adventurous, add more seasonings and pour on the hot sauce. Serves six to eight people; it can be doubled or tripled without any trouble just keep watch on the spices.
