Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp Cajun or Creole seasoning[1]
  • 1 lbs cleaned and peeled extra jumbo shrimp
  • 6 oz fully cooked Turkey/Chicken Andouille sausage or kielbasa, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, 8 oz, sliced into ¼-inch thick half moons
  • 2 medium yellow squash, 8 oz, sliced into ¼-inch thick half moons
  • 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin 1-inch pieces
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt[2]
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the Cajun seasoning and shrimp, toss to coat.
  2. Add the sausage, zucchini, squash, bell peppers, and salt and toss with the oil.
  3. Preheat the air fryer 400°F.
  4. In batches (for smaller baskets), transfer the shrimp and vegetables to the air fryer basket and cook 8 minutes, shaking the basket 2 to 3 times.[3]
  5. Set aside, repeat with remaining shrimp and veggies.

Notes

  1. Use between 1 - 2 Tbsp of Cajun or creole seasoning depending on how much zucchini and squash you have.
  2. There already is a lot of salt in the creole seasoning, it’s not necessary to add more.
  3. It took about 10 - 15 minutes to cook each batch.
  1. You can also cook this in a large skillet. Cook for 10 minutes in batches.
