Shrimp Creole

[littleblessing]

Shrimp Creole is good if you like seafood.

I pretty much just throw the stuff in a skillet/pot to be Atkins friendly.

Green Peppers
(Onions later on, you can omit early on in your journey, not allowed on induction right?)
Shrimp
Old Bay Seasoning
Sugar Free Tomato Sauce
Cauliflower

Boil Green Peppers and Onions in water, (enough to cover) remove from pot after lightly cooked retain water. Grate Cauliflower to resemble a rice shape and size. Add to water (you may add more water if needed). Cook about 3 to 5 mins. (I'm high altitude so you may have to adjust) then add sugar free tomato sauce, green peppers, onions (if able to), seasoning, then right before serving add cooked shrimp.

It should have a "gumbo" like consistency. Not real watery but hearty. I haven't really looked at carbs on it sorry (I'm a little new to all this, but hubbys endocrinologist (dh is a diabetic) recommended it for low carb) but it's something that has been good for us.

Good luck.

Re: Shrimp Creole

Onions are allowed on induction as an "other" veggie. This sounds like a great way to get the veggie carbs up!

Re: Shrimp Creole

Well heck I have been eliminating them all this time worried because I didn't remember seeing them on my list.

I have been doing Atkins and never really made it past induction, I really want to succeed this time. Trying to read the book again and again and really understand it. I wonder why some people make it sound so easy and then when I try to explain it...LOL it doesn't make sense at all.

Anyway after re reading my recipe I decided to make it for dinner tonight. LOL
