- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set it aside, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
- Add the sliced sausage to the skillet and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside with the bacon.

- Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet, season with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
- Return the sausage, bacon, and shrimp to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

Notes
- If you want extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Swap smoked sausage for andouille or kielbasa for a different flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat.
- This recipe is low-carb and keto-friendly, but feel free to serve with rice or bread for a heartier meal.
