This fast and easy Air Fryer Cajun Shrimp recipe is a meal-in-one, made with shrimp, sausage, and lots of colorful vegetables such as zucchini, yellow squash, and bell peppers.
I like to add lots of color to my food, after all, we eat with our eyes! So I went with zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell peppers here, but any stir-fry vegetables can be used here. Try this with eggplant, broccoli florets, etc.
