Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 small head of cabbage, chopped
  • 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 lb smoked sausage, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Cook the Sausage:
    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sliced sausage. Cook for 4-5 minutes until browned and crispy. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
  • Sauté the Shrimp:
    In the same skillet, add olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then add the shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  • Cook the Cabbage:
    Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet. Season with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
  • Combine and Serve:
    Return the cooked sausage and shrimp to the skillet with the cabbage. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure all ingredients are heated through.
  • Garnish:
    Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Sausage Variations: You can use different types of sausage such as Italian, chorizo, or chicken sausage for different flavor profiles.
  • Shrimp Alternatives: If you don’t like shrimp, try using chicken breast, turkey sausage, or even smoked sausage for variety.
  • Add Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or zucchini to make the dish heartier.
  • Spice Level: Adjust the amount of smoked paprika and pepper to control the spiciness. You can also add a dash of cayenne or red pepper flakes for extra heat.
  • Serve with Rice: This dish pairs nicely with rice, mashed potatoes, or even a side of cornbread.
  • Make Ahead: This recipe can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just reheat in a skillet when ready to serve.
