Instructions

  1. Step 1: Peel and devein 1 lb large shrimp, leaving tails on. Slice 4 oz andouille sausage into 1/4-inch rounds. Dice 1 cup celery, 1/2 cup yellow onion, and 1/2 cup green bell pepper into 1/4-inch pieces.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook for 3 minutes until lightly browned, then add the vegetables and cook for 4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 2 tbsp cajun seasoning to the skillet, stirring for 1 minute until aromatic. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 1/2 cup chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Simmer for 2 minutes until broth reduces slightly and the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.
