Shrimp and Sausage Creole

This would be a great dish to try your sausage out in. The sausage and shrimp in a cream sauce gives a nice combination of creaminess with some heat. You could try it over rice, but I prefer it over pasta, giving a flavor that it very like the Creole dishes served in some of New Orleans' most expensive estaurants. (My diet would be in a shambles if I could get back to Patout's, down near Tulane University.)

1 T Olive Oil
10 Shrimp
6 oz Andouille
1 c Mushrooms,Sliced
1/2 c Non Fat,Non Diary Creamer
2 t Worcestershire
1 t Creole Seasoning
1 T Parsley

Heat olive oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and sausage and saute until shrimp just turn pink, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer shrimp and sausage to a plate. Add mushrooms to same skillet and saute until tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in cream, Worcestershire sauce and seasoning. Simmer until sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Return shrimp and sausage to skillet and simmer until shrimp are cooked through, about 1 minute. Sprinkle parsley over top. Serve over pasta.
