- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they are just opaque in the center, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Once done, transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the diced red and green bell peppers along with the sliced sausage. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the vegetables start to stick, add an additional tablespoon of olive oil.
- Stir in the sliced zucchini and minced garlic. Then, add the tomato paste and chicken broth, mixing everything well. Season with salt, pepper, basil, thyme, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
- Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and the vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Finally, return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and cook for an additional 3 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together beautifully.
