Cajun shrimp and sausage skillet is a flavorful one pan meal that's filled with fresh ingredients. Shrimp and andouille sausage are sautéed with onions, peppers, and zucchini seasoned with cajun spices.
Season shrimp with cajun seasoning. In a sauté pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip. Cook for 1 more minute, or until shrimp turn opaque and begin to curl up slightly. Transfer shrimp to a plate, cover, and set aside.
Add remaining olive oil to pan. Add onion, bell pepper, and andouille sausage to pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until sausage is browned and onions begin to turn translucent.
Add zucchini and broth to pan. Stir to combine, scraping the bottom to deglaze pan if needed. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 4 minutes to steam vegetables.
Remove lid and add shrimp to pan, stirring to incorporate. Remove from heat and serve.

Notes
Skillet can be served as-is for a low carb meal, or over grits, rice, or pasta.
Medium or large shrimp work best for this recipe. Cooking times will need to be adjusted if using small or jumbo shrimp.
Leftovers will keep for 3 to 4 days in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
