Recipe: Low Carb Jambalaya

While perusing r/keto, I saw this post with fantastic step by step detailed photo instructions and was instantly inspired to make my own version with the ingredients I had on hand.

I call it Yankee Low Carb Jambalaya because being from the Nor’east, I have no idea what real jambalaya should taste like. I didn’t have any celery and I think I committed some kind of southern-food cardinal sin by not using celery. I don’t like celery. And I wanted to make this because of the last pack of sausage and some frozen shrimp I wanted to use up, like the good frugal New Englander that I am.

Also, I used Tony Chachere’s creole seasoning and holy smokes, this stuff is GOOD! WOW. I don’t feel so lame now having bought a ‘creole seasoning’. Again, I’m a Yankee so maybe to a Southerner I committed a crime, but I’m luvvin this stuff. Now granted, again, being from Massachusetts, I did NOT grow up with anything remotely close to spicy food. So I am very conservative with the spice, but this one is not too spicy and is very very flavorful.

I got both white AND purple cauliflower in my CSA box this week, so the cauli-rice I served this on was quite pretty.

Purple-White cauli rice. Looks kind of like cole slaw in this picture.

DO NOT SALT, there is plenty of salt in the creole seasoning.

    Had most of these ingredients on hand, so I gave this recipe a try – It’s a keeper! I used kielbasa sausage and since I didn’t have any creole seasoning, I found a really nice creole seasoning recipe at http://www.allrecipes.com, threw that together and voila, dinner! I’ll make this again- thanks.

      YAY I am so glad it worked out for you! That sounds super tasty, I wish I had some kielbasa lurking around. Next time you make it, send a pic!
