Equipment

  • Large skillet

Ingredients

For the Skillet

  • 1 pound Shrimp Use pre-cooked or frozen for convenience.
  • 12 ounces Smoked Sausage Opt for spicy for extra kick.
  • 2 medium Zucchini Substitute with yellow squash if desired.
  • 1 cup Bell Peppers Mix varieties like red, yellow, and green.
  • 1 medium Onion Yellow or red onions work best.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Use fresh minced for the most flavor.
  • 2 cups Spinach Can swap with kale for a sturdier option.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil or Butter Essential for cooking.

For Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper Freshly ground is best.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Sweet or smoked varieties enhance flavor.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Use sparingly to suit your spice tolerance.

For Finishing Touches

  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Fresh is highly recommended.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley Chopped, for garnish.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Start by peeling and deveining the shrimp if needed, and pat them dry to ensure a nice sear. Slice the smoked sausage into bite-sized rounds for even cooking.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter over medium heat until it shimmers.
  • Add the sausage rounds to the skillet, cooking for 5-7 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, toss in the sliced onion and bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  • Stir in the zucchini and minced garlic, cooking for an additional 3 minutes until the zucchini is tender.
  • Push the veggies to one side of the skillet, creating space for the shrimp. Cook them for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink.
  • Return the sausage to the skillet, and add the spinach. Stir everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the skillet mix, and serve garnished with chopped parsley.

Notes

Feel free to explore variations that suit your taste buds! Ensure shrimp is not overcooked and use fresh vegetables for best results.
