Cajun Sausage and Shrimp Skillet

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil

  • 12 oz andouille sausage, sliced

  • 1 tablespoon finely minced garlic

  • 12 oz mini peppers quartered

  • 1/2 yellow onion, sliced

  • 1/4 cup sliced green onion

  • 1 pound Kauai Shrimp

  • 1/2 tablespoon cajun seasoning (plus more to taste)

  • juice of one lemon

  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Using a knife, split the shrimp down the back of the shell to expose the mud vain. Remove and repeat for all the shrimp.

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add in the oil.

  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for minute until fragrant.

  4. Add the sliced andouille sausage and cook for three to four minutes to brown on both sides. When the sausage has browned, add the sliced mini peppers and onions to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and the cajun seasoning. Cook the veggies for three to four minutes.

  5. Next, add the shrimp to the skillet and toss to combine. Cook for two to three minutes until the shrimp is translucent and cooked through.

  6. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the lemon juice, sliced green onion, and more seasoning to taste. Serve immediately.
