- Set all these vibrant ingredients aside.
- Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cleaned shrimp with half the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Toss gently.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and let it heat.
- Add the sliced smoked beef sausage. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is browned.
- Transfer the cooked sausage to a clean plate to keep it warm.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and place the seasoned shrimp into the hot skillet.

- Gradually add the chopped green cabbage in several batches.
- Mix in the sliced red cabbage and all the spices to coat.
- Pour in the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and chicken broth. Stir gently.
- Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid and cook for 8 to 10 minutes on medium-low.
- Remove the lid and stir the mixture, allowing it to cook uncovered for another 5 minutes.
- Add the unsalted butter, stirring until melted, and return the sausage to the skillet.
- Gently fold the cooked shrimp back into the mixture.
- Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until everything is heated throughout.
