👨‍🍳 Step-By-Step Cooking Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Ingredients

  • Pat dry the shrimp and season lightly with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Slice sausage into thin rounds.
  • Slice onion and cabbage. Ensure cabbage is thin—it cooks faster and sweeter.

2️⃣ Sear the Sausage

  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add sausage slices and cook for 3–4 minutes, allowing them to brown and release flavor.
  • Remove sausage and set aside.

3️⃣ Cook the Shrimp

  • In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed.
  • 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.

🍽️ How to Serve

💡 Tips for Best Results

  • Let the cabbage slightly caramelize for natural sweetness.
  • Add spicy Cajun seasoning for a bold kick.
