This is another of my favourite easy and quick recipes. A zesty one-pan meal with shrimp, sausage, and veggies that you can throw together in twenty minutes from start to finish! This single skillet meal has loads of wonderful Cajun flavours, and it’s also low carb and keto-friendly.
Cajun is one of the best seasonings. It turns a boring and lifeless meal into oh-so goodness! It brings lots of flavour into veggies and meat like this Cajun Shrimp Sausage Skillet. This recipe is a must-try and no doubt a keeper!
