Directions

1. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until just opaque in the center, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a plate.
2. Add another tbsp of olive oil to the skillet and sauté the onion until translucent. Add the peppers and sausage, cover, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more olive oil if necessary to prevent sticking.
3. Stir in the zucchini and minced garlic. Add the tomato paste and chicken broth, and stir well. Season with salt, pepper, and spices. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and the vegetables are tender.
4. Return the shrimp to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes until the flavors are fully incorporated.
5. Serve and enjoy!
