Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1/2 lb smoked sausage (sliced)
  • 1 medium zucchini (sliced into half-moons)
  • 1 bell pepper (sliced)
  • 2 cups spinach (fresh)
  • 1/2 onion (sliced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes, until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened.
  • Add zucchini and garlic, cooking for another 3 minutes. Season with paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper.
  • Push veggies to the side and add shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
  • Stir the sausage back into the skillet along with spinach. Cook for 1-2 minutes until spinach wilts.
  • Squeeze lemon juice over the dish, stir, and remove from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

  • Use any sausage that fits your taste, like andouille or Italian sausage.
