Instructions

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. This should take about 2 minutes.
Add the shrimp and smoked sausage to the skillet. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning and sauté until the shrimp turns pink and the sausage is browned, approximately 4-5 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium, then add butter to the skillet. Sauté the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant; be careful not to burn it!
Pour in the chicken broth, the remaining Cajun seasoning, heavy whipping cream, and cayenne pepper. Simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
Return the shrimp and sausage to the skillet, and mix well to coat them in the creamy sauce.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and adjust the spice with cayenne if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

This dish takes about 30 minutes to prepare and cook.
For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with ghee and heavy whipping cream with canned coconut milk.
Adjust the level of Cajun seasoning and cayenne pepper based on your spice preference.
