Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced bell pepper, and diced celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped cabbage and cook until it begins to wilt, approximately 5 minutes.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), chicken broth, and Cajun seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- After 20 minutes, add the sliced Andouille sausage and shrimp to the pot. Cook until the shrimp is pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors as needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or green onions if desired.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add a few dashes of hot sauce or some diced jalapeños.
- Feel free to substitute the shrimp with chicken or tofu for different protein options.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated on the stove.
