Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sausage slices and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add the onion and garlic; sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add diced potatoes, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat the potatoes and spices evenly.
Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes (with juices). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Add the browned sausage back to the pot and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Stir in the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Can substitute smoked sausage with chorizo or andouille for spicier flavor.

Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a sweeter taste.

Add bell peppers or celery for extra veggies and crunch.

Replace chicken broth with seafood stock to enhance shrimp flavor.

Omit or adjust cayenne pepper for desired heat level.

Stores well in fridge for up to 3 days; freezes for up to 2 months.

Thaw frozen shrimp fully and pat dry before adding.

Ensure sausage is gluten-free if needed.

Vegetarian option: substitute sausage with smoked tofu or tempeh and use vegetable broth.
