Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the Cajun seasoning and shrimp, toss to coat.
Add the sausage, zucchini, squash, bell peppers, and salt and toss with the oil.
Preheat the air fryer 400F.
In 2 batches (for smaller baskets), transfer the shrimp and vegetables to the air fryer basket and cook 8 minutes, shaking the basket 2 to 3 times.
Set aside, repeat with remaining shrimp and veggies.
Once both batches are cooked, return the first batch to the air fryer and cook 1 minute.

Notes

Tip: Buy shrimp still frozen and defrost as needed. Most shrimp arrives at stores frozen so you may as well buy it frozen and defrost it as needed so it as fresh as possible. To defrost shrimp, thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
*check labels for whole30 and gluten-free.
