Crystal Hot Sauce

Louisiana Andouille is a coarse-ground, heavy-smoked pork sausage at the foundation of Cajun and Creole cooking. Unlike its mild French ancestor, the Louisiana version is seasoned hard with garlic, black pepper, and cayenne, then smoked for hours over pecan wood or sugarcane until the exterior turns near-black and the smoke flavor goes deep. No gumbo, jambalaya, or red beans and rice is complete without it.
