- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Heat olive oil (or substitute) in a skillet over medium heat.
- Sauté the chopped onion, peppers, and garlic until softened.
- Add the sausage slices and cook until browned.
- Stir in the shrimp along with Cajun seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper; cook 2–3 minutes, until the shrimp turn pink.
- Spoon the shrimp and sausage mixture evenly into each cored cabbage; add cheese inside if using.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 40–50 minutes, until the cabbage softens.
- Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes to develop a roasted finish.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired; slice the cabbage bowls into wedges and serve hot.
