This dish has a nice kick to it. Chorizo is sausage made from pork and pork fat and is seasoned with paprika. The sausage itself has a little bit of a spicy flavor to it. So, take the sausage and combine it with a dash of cajun seasoning along with a few other ingredients in this recipe and you have a wonderful dish!
