I usually grill the sausages to give them a bit more flavor. I also use fresh chilies if I have them. I just like the flavor better. But you'll get a more traditional flavor by using cayenne pepper. If you like your food spicy you should double the cayenne and thyme. Read more . Variation: if you want to make this fancier you should add about a half pound of shrimp. Take the shrimp shells and saute them for a minute or two in some olive oil. Add the chicken stock you'll be using and let that simmer for ten minutes. Strain the shells out and then use the liquid as described below. Add the shrimp to the sauce pan for the last ten minutes of cooking Ingredients:
