20-Minute Shrimp & Sausage Skillet Paleo

Tyler and I will try pretty much anything with shrimp. Doug likes it, but I don't think he holds the passion that Tyler and I do toward the tiny pink things. Only thing we hate is peeling them. Especially when I forget to thaw them completely before food prep time.....talk about frozen fingers!

The thing to know about this recipe is that the sausage is going to make or break it. It's just such a strong flavor that you should be choosy about which type you select. Ours was a little too spicy for my taste, but you can try different varieties and see what works for you.

• 1 lb medium or large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 6 oz pre-cooked smoked sausage, chopped
• 3/4 cup diced red bell pepper
• 3/4 cup dived green bell pepper
• 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1/4 cup chicken stock
• 1 zucchini, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, diced
• salt and pepper to taste
• pinch red pepper flakes
• 2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
• olive or coconut oil
• optional garnish, chopped parsley

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with some oil. Season shrimp with Old Bay. Cook shrimp about 3-4 minutes, till opaque, remove and set aside. 

Cook onions and bell peppers in skillet with 2 Tbsp oil for about 2 minutes. Add sausage and zucchini to skillet, cook another 2 minutes. Put cooked shrimp back into the skillet along with garlic, and cook everything for about 1 minutes.

Pour chicken stock into pan and mix through to moisten everything. Add salt and both kinds of pepper. Remove from heat, garnish with parsley and serve hot.
