Shrimp, Sausage, and Cabbage Stir-Fry Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 12 oz smoked sausage, sliced into rounds (Andouille or kielbasa work well)
• 1/2 head of cabbage, chopped
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a bit of heat)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Sausage:
   • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter over medium heat.
   • Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.
2. Cook the Shrimp:
   • In the same skillet, add the shrimp. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside with the sausage.
3. Sauté the Vegetables:
   • Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil or butter to the skillet. Add the sliced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
   • Stir in the chopped cabbage and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
4. Combine and Serve:
   • Return the cooked sausage and shrimp to the skillet with the cabbage and onions. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Garnish and Enjoy:
   • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
