Fried Cabbage with Shrimp, Sausage & Bacon

Instructions

Cook the bacon:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on a paper towel, leaving the bacon grease in the pan.

Cook the sausage:
Add the sliced sausage to the skillet with the bacon grease and cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside with the bacon.

Cook the shrimp:
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove the shrimp and set aside with the bacon and sausage.

Sauté the veggies:
In the same skillet, add olive oil if needed, and sauté the onion, bell pepper, and garlic for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and the peppers are tender.

Add the cabbage:
Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet and season with paprika, Cajun seasoning (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.

Combine everything:
Return the cooked bacon, sausage, and shrimp to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and combine the flavors.

Serve:
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy this hearty, flavorful dish on its own or with a side of rice or cornbread!
