Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 12 oz smoked sausage, sliced
- ½ head green cabbage, chopped
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 carrot, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup chicken broth or water
- Cooked white rice (for serving)
Instructions*
Step 1: Brown the sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage slices until browned on both sides. Remove and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté vegetables
In the same skillet, add olive oil or butter. Add the onion, bell pepper, cabbage, and carrots. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Step 3: Season and simmer
Season with paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Pour in the chicken broth and let everything simmer for 5–7 minutes, until the cabbage is tender and the broth is reduced slightly.
Step 4: Add shrimp and sausage
Return the cooked sausage to the pan, then add the shrimp. Stir everything together and cook for another 3–5 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked.
Serving Suggestion
Serve hot over a bowl of steamed white rice for a complete, satisfying meal.
