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 was a lot more careful with this last pregnancy gaining weight, so I don’t have a ton to lose.  But I can’t wait to start feeling better about myself and fitting in my pre-pregnancy jeans again.

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!  This is a great family meal, but I actually used it for meal prep.  It is delicious served over some brown rice, or quinoa and the cajun flavor is my favorite.
