Shrimp and Sausage Paleo Meal

One-Pan Paleo

Our eating style would not be defined as paleo, keto, or vegan, but we try to stick to a healthy menu most days. We are pretty open-minded when it comes to food and will try just about anything if it shows promise of flavor. We love variety.

On my quest to find something new and healthy to add to our rotation, I came across this recipe at Paleo Newbie. The original recipe included zucchini, but we left that out and added another pepper. You can add or remove the veggies to fit your preferences.

Begin by chopping your veggies. The simplest way to chop the peppers is to turn the pepper over and slice along the lines. Some peppers will have 3 bumps on the bottom; others will have 4. By cutting along the seams of the sides, you will get a solid piece of pepper, usually without the ribs and seeds. Easy peasy.

Slice sausage into coin-sized pieces.

I used the pre-cooked frozen shrimp that were already peeled and deveined. If the shrimp still has the tails on, they are easy to remove once thawed. Place the frozen shrimp in a strainer and run under cold water until thawed completely.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and Old Bay seasoning and heat shrimp through. If you are using raw shrimp, cook until the shrimp turn pink. Once the shrimp has cooked through, remove it from the pan and set aside.

Next, add peppers and onions to the skillet with a little more oil. Cook 5-7 minutes or until the veggies are soft and tender.

Next, add the sausage to the veggies and cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm the sausage through. Then return the shrimp to the pan along with the garlic. Simmer for about 1-2 minutes to combine all the flavors, then add the chicken broth. Finally, add the seasonings and serve.

To keep this dish paleo serve as is. If you are not concerned about keeping this one paleo, you can serve it over rice or quinoa. We ate it as is, and it was amazing. I’ll admit it had much more flavor than I anticipated. I knew it would be good with the Old Bay, but it really delivered the flavor. We will definitely be making this one again!
