Description
A delightful one-skillet dish combining crispy bacon, succulent shrimp, and savory sausage with tender fried cabbage.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 slices bacon, chopped
- 10–12 shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed
- 1 link kielbasa or smoked sausage, cut into 1/2 inch slices
- 3 cups cabbage, cut into thin strips
- 1/2 cup yellow onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with the olive oil and seafood seasoning until well coated. Set aside to briefly marinate.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the chopped bacon. Cook until crispy, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the grease in the skillet.
- Add the sliced kielbasa or smoked sausage to the skillet and cook until browned on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side, then set aside with the bacon.
- Using the same skillet, add the marinated shrimp in a single layer and cook for approximately 3 minutes on each side until pink and curled. Remove and set aside with the bacon and sausage.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the chopped onions, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the onions are softened.
- Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and apple cider vinegar to the skillet, then add the cabbage. Toss to coat well.
- Cook the cabbage for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender but still slightly crunchy.
- Once tender, add the reserved bacon, shrimp, and sausage back to the skillet, folding everything together to warm through for about 1-2 minutes. Adjust seasonings if needed before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to use fresh shrimp for the best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes according to your heat preference.
- This dish is best served hot and can be easily reheated.
