Paleo Shrimp and Sausage Skillet

I have to admit, this is not a typical meal I'd choose to make. I hardly ever make shrimp and try not to make too many sausage meals. Anyways, I took a chance and this actually turned out tasting pretty good! I was lazy though and threw all the veggies in a food processor, so that's why my meal just looks like mush. I would recommend making the zucchini into noodles instead. For the sausage I used Aidells Chicken & Apple Sausage, which I know sounds weird to use with this meal, but I thought it still ended up tasting great. If you make this one, let me know your thoughts and if you made any changes of your own!
