Instructions
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced sausage to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and zucchini. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, crushed red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper to the vegetables. Stir well and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables and spices.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until pink, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until fully cooked and opaque.
Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the dish and stir gently to combine.
Serve the shrimp and sausage skillet hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.
