Ingredients
1 head Large green cabbage
1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
12 ounces Andouille sausage, sliced
2 medium Bell peppers, diced
2 stalks Celery, diced
1 large Yellow onion, diced
4 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
1 cup Tomato sauce (sugar-free)
1 cup Chicken broth
4 ounces Cream cheese
2 tablespoons Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Remove the core from the cabbage and peel away 12 large outer leaves
- Blanch the cabbage leaves in boiling water for about 3-4 minutes until pliable. Remove and plunge into ice water
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes
- Add the diced onion, bell peppers, and celery to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 6-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and Cajun seasoning, stirring for one minute
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cream cheese until melted
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread half the tomato sauce in a baking dish. Place about ⅓ cup of the shrimp and sausage mixture in each cabbage leaf, fold sides in, and roll tightly
- Place rolls seam-side down in the baking dish. Pour remaining tomato sauce and chicken broth over the top. Cover with foil
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until cabbage is tender. Remove foil during the last 10 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving
Notes
Choose a heavy cabbage head for thicker leaves. Properly blanch leaves to avoid tearing.
Taste the filling before stuffing to adjust seasoning as needed.
