Low Carb, Low Calorie Jambalaya

I love jambalaya and it is another food I miss making on a regular basis. Imagine that..another food I love and since I learned about cauliflower rice it has opened up a whole realm of possible alterations to my favorite recipes... This one was a wonderful success. I have always liked adding lots of extras to even my regular jambalaya so it is a complete meal and so do the same with the low carb version.


Ingredients

1 head of cauliflower - "riced" in a food processor
1 head broccoli fresh florets
1-2 large carrots thinly sliced ( or handful of baby carrots)
1/2 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 small package of turkey lil smokies diced or other Sausage such as polish or polska kielbasa
1 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts or Thighs cut into small cubes or slices
1/2 pound Shrimp cut - shelled and deveined
1 can of Rotele

Seasoning
3 tablespoons Paprika
1 tablespoons Chili Powder
1-2 tablespoons Garlic Salt to taste
1-2 tablespoon Creole Seasoning (we love Tony Chachere's) depending on how spicy you like it.

Add an inch of water to a stock pot and bring to a boil. Add broccoli and carrots to pot and simmer for 2 minutes. Then add the chicken, shrimp, sausage, and black beans and simmer for another 2 minutes. Finally add the riced cauliflower and simmer for another 4 minutes. If excess water remains in the pot put the mix into a strainer. Then return the contents to the pot and add the can of rotele with the juice with the heat on low. Add the seasonings and combine thoroughly.
