PREPARE THE CABBAGE<\/h3>\n<p>Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully remove the outer leaves from the cabbages and blanch them in the boiling water for 2\u20133 minutes, or until softened and flexible.<\/p>\n<p>Transfer the cabbage leaves to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and gently pat dry. Trim the thick center vein from each leaf to make rolling easier.<\/p>\n<h3>2. MAKE THE FILLING<\/h3>\n<p>Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced smoked sausage and cook for 3\u20134 minutes until lightly browned.<\/p>\n<p>Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook until softened, then stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Add the shrimp, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Cook for 2\u20133 minutes, just until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Do not overcook the shrimp.<\/p>\n<p>Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cream cheese until smooth. Add the shredded mozzarella, cheddar cheese, and fresh parsley. Mix everything together until well combined.<\/p>\n<h3>3. STUFF THE CABBAGE LEAVES<\/h3>\n<p>Place one cabbage leaf on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the Cajun shrimp and sausage filling into the center.<\/p>\n<p>Fold the sides of the cabbage leaf inward, then roll it tightly like a burrito. Repeat with the remaining cabbage leaves and filling.<\/p>\n<h3>4. BAKE<\/h3>\n<p>Preheat your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C).<\/p>\n<p>Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or butter and arrange the stuffed cabbage rolls seam-side down.<\/p>\n<p>Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25\u201330 minutes. Remove the foil during the last 5\u201310 minutes of baking to allow the tops to become lightly golden and bubbly.<\/p>\n<h3>5. SERVE<\/h3>\n<p>Let the stuffed cabbage rolls rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of Cajun seasoning for extra flavor.<\/p>\n<p>Serve hot with a creamy Cajun dipping sauce or a simple green salad for a delicious keto-friendly meal.<\/p>\n<h2>TIPS<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Choose large cabbage leaves so they are easier to fill and roll.<\/li>\n<li>Use freshly peeled and deveined shrimp for the best flavor.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid overcooking the shrimp before baking because they will continue cooking in the oven.<\/li>\n<li>For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.<\/li>\n<li>You can substitute smoked sausage with andouille sausage for an even bolder Cajun flavor.<\/li>\n<li>Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Enjoy these cheesy, smoky, and flavorful Keto Cajun Shrimp &amp; Sausage Stuffed Cabbage Rolls!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KETO CAJUN SHRIMP &amp; SAUSAGE STUFFED CABBAGE A delicious low-carb comfort food packed with juicy shrimp, smoky sausage, bold Cajun&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6902,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6901","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6901","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6901"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6901\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6903,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6901\/revisions\/6903"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6902"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6901"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
