Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Wrap

  • 8–10 fresh cabbage leaves
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced

Proteins

  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 ounces Andouille sausage, sliced

Seasonings & Fats

  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (blend of paprika, cayenne, garlic, and herbs)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

Optional

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cabbage Leaves: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully separate the cabbage leaves and boil them for 2-3 minutes until pliable but not mushy. Drain and set aside to cool for wrapping.
  2. Cook the Filling: Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onion, minced garlic, and bell peppers until fragrant and softened. Add Andouille sausage slices and cook until browned. Toss in the shrimp, sprinkle Cajun seasoning evenly, and cook for 3-5 minutes until shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
  3. Stuff the Cabbage Leaves: Lay each cabbage leaf flat, spoon a generous amount of the shrimp and sausage mixture onto the center. Optionally, sprinkle with shredded cheese. Carefully roll or fold the leaves over the filling to create neat parcels. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place stuffed cabbage rolls in a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until warmed through and flavors meld.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove toothpicks if used, plate the stuffed cabbage rolls, and serve with your choice of garnishes and keto-friendly sides.

Notes

  • Choose fresh or properly thawed shrimp for the best texture.
  • Avoid overcooking shrimp to prevent rubbery texture.
  • Boil cabbage leaves just enough to make them flexible without falling apart.
  • Add seasoning gradually to balance the Cajun heat.
  • Dice sausage and vegetables finely for an even stuffing consistency.
