A delightful one-skillet dish with fried cabbage, shrimp, sausage, and bacon, combining savory flavors for a satisfying meal.
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.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving grease in the skillet.
- Add the sliced kielbasa or smoked sausage to the skillet and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes on each side, then remove and set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet, then add the chopped onions, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for 5-6 minutes until onions are soft.
- Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and apple cider vinegar to the skillet, then add the cabbage and toss to coat.
- Cook the cabbage for approximately 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender but retains a slight bite.
- Add the reserved bacon, shrimp, and sausage back to the skillet, gently folding everything together to combine and warm through.
- Taste and adjust seasonings if needed before serving hot.
Notes
- Ensure shrimp are not overcooked to maintain tenderness.
- Adjust crushed red pepper flakes to taste for desired spiciness.
- Use fresh cabbage for the best texture and flavor.
