This Spicy Sausage and Shrimp Skillet is Paleo, gluten-free and so delicious! A flavorful Mediterranean meal that comes together in 30 minutes. Perfect weeknight dinner for busy families.

Hope you had a fantastic weekend! Mine was short but sunny and very enjoyable! After coming home from work on Saturday, my husband surprised me with a delicious dinner cooked by him –Moroccan Grilled Salmon. We also had two tickets to the Huntsville Symphony Orchestra, so that was a nice end of the day. What a great date night!

Tax season is in full swing, which means long hours, busy workdays and 1 day weekends for me. Between working 60 hours a week, commute and taking care of the usual household chores, cooking during the week is almost impossible for me right now. But I am looking forward to the Sundays when I can get creative in the kitchen and stock up on food for the week. One of my creations last week was this spicy sausage and shrimp skillet. It comes together in about 30 minutes, and it is easy to make. And oh-so-flavorful!

This meal reminds me of a meal my grandma used to make for us when we were children. We also added crumbled feta cheese on top, it made the meal perfect. I remember I loved it so much I always cleaned my plate. And I still do. 🙂

This sausage and shrimp skillet brings back sweet memories of my childhood. The flavors of the cooked onion, red & green bell peppers and the zucchini create a delicious Mediterranean taste. Add the spicy sausage and shrimp, and you have a fabulous (like my husband said) easy one pot meal. This will definitely get on my list for favorite weeknight meals!
