“Fried Cabbage with Shrimp & Sausage – A Hearty, Flavorful Southern Delight!”

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly crispy.
Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Shrimp:

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables:

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.
Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet, and season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage starts to soften and slightly caramelize.
Add the Liquid and Simmer:

Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce (if using), stirring to incorporate.
Cover the skillet and let the cabbage cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, until it becomes tender and slightly golden.
Combine Everything:

Once the cabbage is cooked, add the cooked sausage and shrimp back into the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through and well combined.
Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if desired.
Serve and Garnish:

Serve the fried cabbage with shrimp and sausage in bowls, garnished with fresh parsley or green onions for a burst of color and flavor.
