Premium Cajun Sausage

Cajun Sausage with Real Southern Heat

This is a pork sausage that knows what it's for. Salt, garlic and a spicy blend of seasonings run through every inch of the link, built to flavor a whole pot rather than just hold its own at a cookout. We stock it because Cajun sausage and Chesapeake seafood have always understood each other; the same table that holds steamed shrimp welcomes a smoky, spicy slice right beside them.

Oven or Skillet, Twenty Minutes Out

The no-fuss method is the oven: 400°F, sausage laid out on a foil-lined pan on the middle rack, 20 to 25 minutes until the inside reaches 165°F, with no turning required. If you'd rather build a crust, a heavy skillet with a small drizzle of olive oil browns it beautifully on the stovetop. Either way, slice it on the bias and it's ready for whatever's simmering.

Where It Earns Its Keep

Drop thick coins into a gumbo and the spice blooms through the whole pot. Stir it into bean soups, fold it into a skillet of rice and peppers, or pile slices onto a roll when the pot seems like too much ceremony. A single link stretches further than you'd expect once it starts seasoning everything around it; the garlic does as much of that work as the pepper, which is exactly why it gets along with seafood.

Filling Out a Frozen Order

Sausage ships frozen and rides comfortably in the same insulated cooler as the rest of a meat order. It pairs naturally with our local beef tenderloin filets if you're stocking the freezer in one delivery. For cooking inspiration once everything thaws, the recipes section of our blog covers the field from the grill to the gumbo pot.
