Let’s talk about our shrimp and sausage!

You have a variety of options for the shrimp and sausage you use to make this dish. Fresh shrimp is an awesome option. It’s quick and easy to prepare, and results in amazingly delicious shrimp with a nice firm texture. Alternately, you can use frozen shrimp to make this dish. You’ll just want to boil it a few minutes until it’s cooked through, then place it in a cold water bath to stop the cooking process. For the sausage, there are some great no-sugar added sausages available which are also amazingly delicious. You can use smoked sausage, kielbasa, or all beef sausage for this dish. If you’d like to add a little heat to your dish, you could also use Spanish chorizo. Spanish chorizo is a dried and cured, fully cooked sausage, seasoned with a variety of seasonings including paprika which gives it its distinct red color and amazing flavor.

What other ingredients go into this keto shrimp and sausage skillet?

Along with the shrimp and sausage, to make this one skillet dish, we add bell peppers, onions, and a simple but delicous seasoning mix. For the peppers, I used a green and red pepper to make this dish. You can use any color or color combination of bell peppers to make yours. I used a yellow onion for this dish, but you can use a red or white onion if you’d prefer. I sliced my peppers and onions, but you can dice them or roughly chop them if you’d like. For seasoning, we combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes. You can omit the red pepper flakes entirely if you want a mild dish. If you want a spicier dish, you can add more red pepper flakes. You can also increase the heat in your dish by adding cayenne pepper or some hot sauce.
