Description
A bold, low-carb twist on comfort food with crispy cabbage wraps filled with smoky sausage and tender shrimp, seasoned with Cajun spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head of cabbage
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the core from the cabbage and blanch whole leaves in the boiling water for 2–3 minutes until pliable. Remove leaves and set aside to cool.
- In a large skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 4–5 minutes. Stir in Cajun seasoning.
- Add the smoked sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in shrimp, diced tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until shrimp is pink, about 3–4 minutes.
- Place a spoonful of the shrimp and sausage mixture in the center of a cabbage leaf. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30–40 minutes until heated through.
Notes
Great for weeknight dinners or meal prep. Leftovers reheat well.
