# Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice off the tops of the cabbages and carefully core out the centers to prepare for stuffing. Rub the insides with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place the prepared cabbages in a baking dish.
02 -
In a skillet, heat olive oil or bacon fat over medium heat. Sauté the onion, peppers, and garlic until softened. Add the sausage slices and cook until browned. Toss in the shrimp and season with Cajun seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 2–3 minutes.

Spoon the shrimp and sausage mixture into each cabbage. If using cheese, sprinkle it inside along with the filling.
04 -
Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes to give the cabbage a roasted finish.

Garnish the stuffed cabbages with parsley or green onions. Slice wedges from the cabbage bowls and serve hot.
