What You Need:

• Avocado Oil - or oil of choice
• Shrimp
• Sausage - I like this recipe with both smoked sausage and andouille
• Bell Peppers - variety of colors
• Onion
• Garlic
• Zucchini
• Jalapeño - optional
• Spices - salt, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, oregano and pepper flakes
• Parsley - optional topping

Let's Cook:

1. In a small bowl, mix the seasonings together
2. Pat your shrimp dry and season with half the seasoning mixture on both sides
3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the shrimp on the first side for 2 minutes. Then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes (or until just cooked through) remove from pan and set aside
4. Add a little more oil to the pan if needed and cook the sliced sausage in the skillet until browned evenly - remove from pan and set aside
5. Add in the peppers and onions, sauté until onions just start to get translucent and peppers are slightly softened. Then stir in the garlic, jalapeño, zucchini and remaining seasoning mixture; cook for an additional 5-7 minutes
6. Then the shrimp and sausage get added back in, leave over heat for 1 minute just to warm them back up. Remove from heat and top with parsley if desired
