Step 1
Slice potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds. You want thin so they cook fast.
Step 2
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it foams, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Add potatoes and sausage. Stir and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, 8–10 minutes.
Step 4
Push potatoes and sausage to the sides. Add shrimp and Cajun seasoning to the center of the skillet.
Step 5
Toss everything together. Cook 2–3 minutes until shrimp are opaque and pink, not translucent.
Step 6
Squeeze lemon over the top. Serve straight from the skillet with crusty bread.
