Ingredients You’ll Need
Cabbage: You’ll need one large head of cabbage.
Cooking Oil: I like to use avocado oil
Bacon: Use your favorite high-quality, thick-cut bacon for the best flavor
Andouille sausage: You can use any sausage you prefer but andouille sausage is the best for making southern fried cabbage. Smoked sausage is also a good option.
Uncooked shrimp: Make sure to peel and devein the shrimp
Spices: The shrimp is cajon flavored so you will need smoked paprika, cajun seasoning, all-purpose seasoning, and lemon pepper seasoning.
Butter: Skip the butter and add oil if you prefer, but the butter does add delicious savory flavor.
Onions, Peppers, and Garlic Cloves: The base for any good cabbage recipe

6 Strips of Bacon, cut into bite-size pieces
1 1 package andouille sausage (sliced diagonally into 1/2 inch pieces)
1 lb Uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1 teaspoon Lemon Pepper Seasoning
2 tablespoons Butter

INSTRUCTIONS
In a large skillet over medium heat, add your avocado oil and cook your chopped bacon and andouille sausage until browned and crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from skillet.
Add cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, and lemon pepper seasoning to your shrimp and toss. Then, add your shrimp to skillet and cook on each side for 60 seconds. Remove from skillet and set aside with the bacon and sausage.
Save about a tsp of the remaining grease left from the bacon, sausage, and shrimp and add the 2 tbsp of butter. Toss in your onion and bell pepper and sauté until onion become translucent. Add your minced garlic and stir to combine.
Next, add your chopped cabbage, turn the heat down to medium low and put a lid on your skillet. The cabbage will begin to wilt down. After about 10-12 minutes, give the cabbage and pepper mixture a good mix to combine. Add your all purpose seasoning, black pepper, and red pepper flakes and mix. Place the lid back on and cook on low for an additional 5 minutes or so for flavors to come together.
Remove lid. Add in your bacon, sausage, and shrimp. Give it a little stir to combine everything and serve over rice, with cornbread, or alone. ENJOY!
