Instructions
Add the avocado oil to a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with cajun seasoning. Cook for about 2 minutes per side, be sure not to overcook. Cook in batches if needed.
Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Add onion, zucchini, mini peppers, and salt and pepper to the skillet. Saute for about 5 minutes, just until they begin to soften.
Add the smoked sausage to the skillet with the garlic and sprinkle with additional cajun seasoning.
Once everything has cooked through and softened, add a splash of broth to the skillet to deglaze the pan and get up all the browned bits.
Add the shrimp back in and it's ready to serve.
Notes
Seasoning throughout cooking rather than only at the beginning will give you the most flavor
Great served over rice, rice pilaf, and pasta
Good add-ins: okra, stewed tomatoes
