Ingredients

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 lb andouille sausage, sliced into rounds
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and devein the shrimp if they are not already prepared. Slice the andouille sausage, bell peppers, and red onion.
2. Cook the Sausage: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers and red onion. Cook until they start to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
4. Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet along with the Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Combine Everything: Return the sausage to the skillet. Add the chicken broth and lemon juice. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
6. Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Cajun Shrimp Sausage Skillet with rice, quinoa, or crusty bread.

Tips

• Adjust the Spice Level: If you like it spicier, add more Cajun seasoning or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
• Add Other Vegetables: You can add other vegetables like zucchini or cherry tomatoes for more variety.
• Make It Creamy: For a creamier version, add a splash of heavy cream at the end.

Enjoy your meal!….
