I always love Cajun Shrimp. It is simply delicious – packed with shrimps, sausage, and summer vegetables in mouthwatering cajun spices. You will never go wrong with this dish and it is perfect whenever. My go-to for a quick and easy meal, potlucks, or when I have friends coming over.

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

3 ounces fully cooked Turkey/Chicken Andouille sausage (Applegate), very thinly sliced
1 medium zucchini (8 ounces each), sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds

Step 7: On a baking sheet, arrange the packets, Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 13 minutes or until the shrimp is thoroughly cooked and the veggies are crisp-tender.
Step 8: Remove from the oven and slowly open the packets. Be careful with the hot steam.
Step 9: Place the shrimp, vegetables, and the accumulated sauce to separate bowls or rimmed plates.
NOTE: To freeze and heat:
1. Grab a gallon-sized bag and put the uncooked packets inside, making sure to keep them level and upright. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months. When ready to cook, there is no need to thaw.
2. To heat, take the frozen packets out of the bag and transfer them on a baking tray. Then, bake at 425 degrees.
