Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup (55 g / 1.94 oz) coconut oil
  • 1 pound (455 g / 16 oz) medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed
  • 12 ounces (340 g / 12 oz) smoked sausage (chicken, pork, or beef), cubed
  • 5 asparagus spears, woody ends removed, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces (115 g / 4.1 oz) cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) paprika
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) dried thyme leaves
  • ½ teaspoon finely ground sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Handful of fresh parsley leaves, chopped, for serving
  • This recipe is fantastic for meal prep. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or in the microwave.
  • Feel free to customize the vegetables based on what you have on hand. Bell peppers, broccoli florets, or green beans would also be delicious additions.
  • Easily adapt for dietary needs. For a nightshade-free version, simply omit the paprika and cayenne. For a coconut-free option, use avocado oil or ghee.

Method
 

  1. Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat until shimmering. 2.
  2. Add all remaining except for the fresh parsley.
  3. Stir everything together to ensure the shrimp, sausage, and vegetables are evenly coated in the oil and spices. 3.
  4. Cover the pan and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The dish is ready when the asparagus is tender and the shrimp have turned pink and opaque. 4.
  5. Divide the mixture among 4 serving plates, garnish with a generous sprinkle of fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
  6. Don't overcook the shrimp. They cook very quickly and are perfectly done as soon as they turn pink and curl into a 'C' shape. Overcooking will make them tough.
