Throw this zesty one-pan meal in under twenty minutes using just a couple of simple ingredients. This amazing dish is packed and bursting with Cajun flavor, sausage, shrimp, and bell peppers. This Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Skillet is an excellent keto-friendly and low-carb meal that brings the flavors of meat and veggies perfectly in a single meal!
This dish is also excellent if you are into meal prepping as this stores well for a couple of days. Toss in other veggies if desired, such as zucchini and yellow squash, along with the bell peppers. Broccoli and asparagus are also an amazing addition. As for the sausage, you are welcome to use chicken, turkey, pork, or beef. I also like a little kick to my skillet meal, so I sprinkle some pepper flakes or drizzle over some sriracha.
