Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Veggie Skewers
I love how with summer coming and warmer weather brings new life to our house. It seems that even with the end of school and busy end of year activities, the mood seems to change in our house. We are all a little happier being able to go outside and enjoy the sunshine, and it helps to pass the evenings before bedtime. Every nice day we have had you can guarantee we are outside having a BBQ. It is one of our favorite things to do.
I love grilling skewers or “kebabs” because you get all of the things you need on one of the skewers. Your protein and veggies get grilled at once and this was one of the fastest things that we have grilled.
How do you make cajun shrimp and sausage kebabs?
- Start by prepping you meat and veggies. Cut your zucchini and peppers into one inch cubes and slice your sausage. Add to a large bowl with the shrimp.
- Toss with olive oil and cajun seasoning, then thread your meat and veggies onto the skewers.
How long does it take to grill shrimp skewers?
These kebabs take only 1-2 minutes on each side. Once the shrimp is opaque and the veggies are tender, you remove them from the grill.
What sides are good to serve at a BBQ?
Sheet Pan Salmon & Green Vegetables With Herb Garlic Sauce
This healthy and nutritious sheet pan baked salmon with herb & garlic sauce and green vegetables is quick and easy and suitable for paleo, keto, whole30 and AIP diets.
Not sure if you’ve noticed, but I’ve been obsessed with quick and easy sheet pan meals recently. You might have tried my chorizo, chicken and asparagus bake, this quick and easy baked spiced cod with Brussels sprouts, my mushroom with balsamic chicken and onions, or my Italian sheet pan baked eggs. Today, I’m giving you a nutritious, delicious, super food packed meal of baked salmon with zesty herb and garlic sauce and green vegetables.
This sheet pan meal ticks so many boxes: paleo, keto, AIP and Whole30 friendly, it’s a perfect meal for anyone doing a reset. It has loads of green veggies, it has omega-3s rich fish, it’s quick and easy, and most importantly, it’s full of flavour.
Cook’s notes
I am using salmon fillets because I love oily fish and my partner really likes this particular type of fish. You can use any other part of salmon, like salmon steaks which are cheaper, or any other fish that suits your budget and location.
You can also make this with prawns or chicken instead of fish. For prawns, start baking the vegetables earlier and add the prawns in the last 5 minutes as they don’t need much time to cook. For chicken, it’s the other way around. Slice the chicken fillets into thinner strips and bake for 5 minutes before adding the vegetables, then cook for 15 more minutes together, so a total of 20 minutes for thin strips of chicken.

For the sauce
For the rest
- Preheat the oven to 200 C / 400 F.
- Mix together the sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
- Grease a large sheet pan or flat-ish baking tray with about a tablespoon of olive oil and place the salmon fillets in the middle, leaving about an inch of space in between. Spread even amounts of the sauce over the top of each salmon fillet.
- Scatter the green vegetables around and in between the fillets, overlapping each other is fine. Drizzle the vegetables lightly with olive oil (about 2 tablespoons) and the juice of half of the remaining lemon. Sprinkle with a few pinches of sea salt and pepper.
- Place the tray in the oven for 15 minutes, rotating halfway if your oven is slightly uneven in temperature (like mine).
- Serve while hot with any additional vegetables, salads, or starchy carbs, if you needed.
