  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 large head of cabbage, chopped

1 tablespoon avocado oil or cooking oil of choice

6 strips of thick-cut bacon, cut into bite-size pieces

1 package andouille sausage, sliced diagonally into 1/2 inch pieces (smoked sausage as an alternative)

1 pound uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning

2 tablespoons butter

1 medium onion, sliced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 orange bell pepper, sliced

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 teaspoons all-purpose seasoning

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Pinch of red pepper flakes

1 large head cabbage Provides fiber and a crisp base

1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined Adds lean protein and seafood flavor

1 package andouille sausage sliced into 1/2 inch pieces Brings smoky, spicy depth

Instructions

1-Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the sliced andouille sausage. Cook until it’s browned and slightly crisp, about 5 minutes, then set it aside.

2-In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sautΓ© until fragrant, which takes about 1 minute to release its full aroma.

3-Add the shrimp and sprinkle with a portion of the Cajun seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, ensuring they don’t overcook.

4-Toss in the shredded cabbage, sliced bell peppers, and remaining Cajun seasoning. Stir fry for 5-7 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still has a nice crunch.

5-Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and mix everything together. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors blend.

6-Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve hot. This dish can be adapted for different diets, like using vegan substitutes for a plant-based version.
