👨🍳 Step-By-Step Cooking Instructions

- Add the shrimp and cook 1–2 minutes per side until pink and lightly browned.
- Remove and set aside with sausage.
4️⃣ Sauté the Vegetables
- Add butter to the pan.
- Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add onions, carrots, and peppers. Cook 2–3 minutes.
- Add cabbage, salt, paprika, and oregano.
- Stir well and cook 6–8 minutes until cabbage softens but doesn’t get mushy.
5️⃣ Combine Everything
- Return shrimp and sausage to the pan.
- Add chili flakes and soy sauce (optional).
- Mix well and cook 2 more minutes to blend flavors.
- Squeeze lemon over the top before serving.
