One-Pan Cajun Shrimp & Sausage

Cooking the sausage first and leaving its rendered fat in the pan is what seasons the shrimp and vegetables that go in after.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 12 oz gluten-free andouille-style sausage, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning

Method

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the sliced sausage 4-5 minutes until browned, then remove, leaving the rendered fat behind in the pan.

  2. 2

    Add the bell pepper and onion to the same skillet, cooking in the sausage fat 5-6 minutes until softened — this is what carries the sausage's smoky flavor into the vegetables.

  3. 3

    Toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning, then add to the skillet along with the browned sausage.

  4. 4

    Cook 3-4 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
