Ingredients

• 12 large cabbage leaves
• 1 pound ground beef sausage
• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup cooked rice
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage and blanch the leaves for about 2-3 minutes until they are pliable. Remove and let them cool.
3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Add the ground beef sausage to the skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. Stir in the shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink.
5. Mix in the cooked rice, tomato sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, blending the flavors.
6. Place about 1/3 cup of the filling on the end of each cabbage leaf. Roll tightly, tucking in the sides to secure the filling, and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
7. Pour any remaining tomato sauce over the st￭ cabbage rolls and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
9. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle.
