Ready in twenty minutes – this zesty one-pan meal loaded with shrimp, sausage, and veggies flavored with Cajun seasoning is hard to miss!

For best results, do not marinate the shrimp for more than 30 minutes, or it will break down the delicate shrimp meat. Also, make sure not to overcook the shrimp, or they will be rubbery. Once the shrimp curls up into a C, the shrimps are just perfect!

I like topping my Keto Cajun Shrimp and Sausage with lime and pepper flakes for extra zest and a bit of kick.
