Instructions
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced smoked sausage and cook for about 4-5 minutes until browned.
- Add the diced onion and bell peppers; sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic, paprika, and cayenne pepper for an additional 30 seconds.
