→ Seasonings & Condiments
07 -
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
08 -
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (e.g., Old Bay or homemade blend)

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
10 -
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional: fresh parsley or chives for garnish
# Istruzioni:
01 -
Cook diced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the fat in the pan.
02 -
Add sliced kielbasa to the bacon fat and cook over medium heat until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside with bacon.
03 -
Add shrimp to the skillet and cook over medium heat until just opaque and curled into a gentle 'C' shape, about 2-3 minutes per side. Season with seafood seasoning. Remove and set aside with meats.
04 -
Add diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5-6 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
05 -
Stir in sliced cabbage, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 12 minutes until cabbage is tender but still has slight bite.
06 -
Pour in apple cider vinegar and add butter, stirring to create a light sauce that coats the cabbage evenly.
07 -
Return cooked bacon, sausage, and shrimp to the skillet. Stir gently and warm everything together for 2-3 minutes to meld flavors without overcooking proteins.
08 -
Transfer to serving plates and optionally garnish with fresh parsley or chives for color and brightness.
# Note utili:
01 -
Cook bacon and sausage separately to achieve ideal browning and texture. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming.
02 -
The splash of apple cider vinegar balances the richness of meats and butter, brightening the overall flavor.
03 -
Cook cabbage until tender but still firm for the perfect texture; avoid overcooking to prevent mushiness.
04 -
Leftovers improve in flavor after resting overnight and reheat well with a splash of broth or water.
