Directions:Step-by-Step Instructions 1. Cook the Bacon Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy, about 5–7 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan for added flavor. 2. Brown the Sausage In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the sliced sausage. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside with the bacon. 3. Sauté the Vegetables In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the flavorful fat. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized. 4. Add the Shrimp Push the cabbage to one side of the skillet and add the shrimp to the other side. Season the shrimp with smoked paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook the shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. 5. Combine and Finish Return the cooked bacon and sausage to the skillet, combining everything with the cabbage and shrimp. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, black pepper, or red pepper flakes as needed. 6. Serve and Enjoy |
