Fried Cabbage with Shrimp, Sausage & Bacon 🥬🍤🥓

Instructions

1. Cook the bacon:
   • In a large skillet or frying pan, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving some of the bacon fat in the pan.
2. Cook the sausage:
   • Add sausage slices to the same pan and brown for 3–4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. Cook the shrimp:
   • Add shrimp to the pan, season with a little salt and pepper, and cook 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
4. Cook the vegetables:
   • In the same pan, add olive oil if needed. Sauté onions until translucent (about 3–4 minutes).
   • Add garlic, cook 30 seconds.
   • Add shredded cabbage, salt, pepper, and optional paprika or red pepper flakes. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for 8–10 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
5. Combine everything:
   • Return bacon, sausage, and shrimp to the pan. Toss gently to combine and heat through for 2–3 minutes.
6. Serve:
   • Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy as a main dish or hearty side!

💡 Tips:

• Use a mix of green and red cabbage for a colorful presentation.
• Leftovers reheat well in a skillet; flavors intensify after a day.
• For extra flavor, squeeze a little lemon juice over the shrimp before serving.

If you want, I can also make a quick one-pan version where everything cooks together for faster prep—still loaded with bacon, sausage, and shrimp. Do you want me to share that version too?
