8 oz zucchini, sliced into quarter-inch pieces
8 oz yellow squash, sliced into quarter-inch pieces
1 large red bell pepper, cut into one-inch pieces
1/4 tsp kosher salt
2 tbsp olive oil

Place the shrimp in a large mixing bowl and add the Cajun seasoning, tossing until evenly coated.
Add the sliced chicken sausage, zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell peppers to the shrimp.
Drizzle with olive oil and toss everything together until well combined.
Sprinkle with kosher salt to season the vegetables.
Preheat air fryer if required by model, typically to 400°F.

Air fry for 18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even caramelization and char.
Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
If using pre-made Cajun seasoning, check the label for sodium content and adjust the added salt accordingly. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for optimal crisping. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
