CAJUN SHRIMP AND SAUSAGE VEGETABLE SKILLET

Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Vegetable Skillet is the BEST 20 minute meal packed with awesome cajun flavor with shrimp, sausage, and summer veggies.  This makes a great low carb meal and is also great for meal prep!

Summertime and getting into a swimsuit reminds me that I have got baby weight to lose.  Now that our sweet girl is six weeks old, I can focus on myself now.  Working out and eating better to lose the extra pounds.
I love creating easy meals that are healthy and full of flavor.  Since I don’t have a lot of time with a newborn, I love when I can create a meal that is ready in no time at all.  This one just happens to be ready in about 20 minutes!

Shrimp and sausage go so well together!  You can use pork or chicken sausage in this and I love how delicious it makes this meal.  Cajun seasoning is one of my all time favorites and packs in delicious spices and a little bit of heat.  It is perfect for adding flavor to this quick and easy meal.
