Ingredients:

1 small head of cabbage, chopped

1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/2 lb smoked sausage, sliced

4 slices bacon, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.

Add the sliced sausage to the skillet and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside with the bacon.

In the same skillet, add olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, then add the shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink. Remove the shrimp and set aside.

Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet, season with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.

Return the sausage, bacon, and shrimp to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Enjoy!
