Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet and sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine, allowing the cabbage to wilt (approximately 8-10 minutes).
If using, add your cooked protein to the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking. Stir everything together to ensure even heating.
Once the cabbage is completely tender and everything is heated through, remove the skillet from heat. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs.
