Ingredients
1 small head of cabbage, chopped
1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 lb smoked sausage, sliced
4 slices bacon, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
1. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until it’s crispy. Remove the bacon, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet, and set aside.
2. Brown the Sausage: Add the sliced smoked sausage to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside with the bacon.
3. Sauté the Shrimp: Add olive oil and minced garlic to the same skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, then add the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
4. Cook the Cabbage: Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet, seasoning with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender but retains a slight crunch.
5. Combine and Heat: Return the bacon, sausage, and shrimp to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
