This recipe is one of my go-to weeknight meals, because it is so fast and easy. The best part of this recipe is you can use whatever type of sausage floats your boat and any type of rice you like. I’ve linked to the ones that I like to use for this recipe.

Ingredients:

  • Sausage (of choice)
  • Wild Caught Jumbo Shrimp
  • Organic Rice (of choice)
  • Chicken Broth
  • 1 can Rotel
  • Kerry Gold Butter
  • 2-3 Lime Juice (1 zested)
  • ¼ – 1/3 cup Tequila (optional)
  • Cajun Seasoning

Directions:

Peel the shrimp, place in a bowl and set aside.

Cook the rice, in the chicken broth, according to the package instructions. This allows for more flavor in the rice and more nutrients for your body.

Side Note: If you decide to use a quick-cook form of rice or pre-cooked rice, this recipe takes even less time and you’ll need to adjust the time when you cook or warm-up the rice accordingly. You can also use cauliflower “rice” as a low-carb substitute and way to get in more veggies.

While the rice is cooking, slice the sausage and brown in a large skillet. If you want to add spice to the sausage you can sprinkle with the Cajun seasoning. Once browned place in a bowl and set aside.

Once the rice is about 10 minutes from being complete, in the large skillet you cooked the sausage in (leave the sausage remanence), add butter, squeeze the juice of 1.5 limes, pour in the tequila, and add in the shrimps. Sprinkle liberally with Cajun seasoning. Cook for 4 minutes, flip over, sprinkle liberally with Cajun seasoning, and cook for 4 more minutes.

Rice should be done by the time the shrimp complete. Pick either the rice pot or the skillet to mix everything together in. Adding the rice and shrimp with sauce together, Rotel, lime juice, lime zest, sausage, and stir together.

Done. Eat. Enjoy.

Tools:

  • Chopping Board
  • Knife
  • Large Deep Pan w/ Lid
  • Spatula and or Large Spoon

Ingredients:

  • 1 – 2  Lemons  to taste
  • ½ – 1  Cup of Broth
  • 1  Can Tomato Sauce
  • 1  Can Diced Tomatoes
  • 1  Head Green Cabbage or Savoy Cabbage
  • 4  Cloves Garlic
  • ½  Large Bell Pepper (color of choice)
  • 1  Yellow Onion
  • 1 lb  Ground Elk or Bison
  • 1 lb  Ground Grass-fed Beef

Seasonings:

  • Butter or Ghee
  • Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Garlic Powder
  • Lemon Pepper
  • Red Pepper Flakes

Directions:

Chop onion into small even sized pieces and saute in pan with butter or Ghee, season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder over a medium-high-heat. While you onion is cooking, chop bell pepper into small even sized pieces and mince garlic cloves.

Pan
Tin Star Ghee
Veggies
Frozen Lemon Juice
Ground Meat

Once the onion is ½ way cooked, add the bell pepper with a little more salt and garlic powder. Once they are soft and have some color on them (de-glaze pan with broth or lemon juice) add the ground meat and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if you desire). Add in any seasoning or herb to the meat you prefer, the more flavor the better.

Onion & Bell Pepper
Add Meat
Meat

While the meat is cooking, chop the cabbage into large long strips. (Cooking Tip: Because cabbage cooks down, if you cut the pieces too small they will dang near disappear in this dish.)

Once the meat is cooked through and is nice and brown, add in the minced garlic and cook for a few mins. Add the chopped cabbage, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, juice of two lemons (I used previously frozen lemon juice), and more of each seasoning. Place lid.

Browned Meat
Cooking Down
Lid On - Wilt Cabbage

Reduce to medium-heat and cook for approximately 20 minutes; after this time the cabbage should be wilting and easier to mix/stir. Stir well and if more liquid is needed to continue the steaming of the cabbage add in bone broth or white wine and maybe a little more lemon juice and salt and place lid back on and continue to cook for 30 – 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

If you so choose, this dish is served well over rice. This is the time to make rice, with approximately 30 – 35 minutes of cook time left. I personally like to cook rice in bone broth and a couple of dashes of salt instead of water to add in nutrients and flavor.

Rice & Broth

Cooking Tip: As you may have noticed, I season each layer as it goes in the pan, this allows for the flavor to build as the dish progresses through the cooking process, if you do not the dish may turn out bland.

Done. Eat. Enjoy.
