Jambalaya: Adjusted for Bariatric Surgery
1 pound raw medium shrimp, tail removed
6 ounces of Andouille Sausage, 1/4 inch slices
1 medium Onion
2 Stalks Celery, chopped
3 green onions (scallions to most of us), chopped
5 cloves fresh Garlic, chopped
2 Tablespoons of Vegetable Oil
1 Green Pepper, chopped
1 Bag of Trader Joe's Frozen Cauliflower Rice
About 20 ounces of crushed tomatoes
One Tablespoon of Tomato paste
One teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper
1/4 cup of flat parsley, chopped
8-10 drops of Sriracha
Salt and Pepper to taste
Rinse shrimp under cold water until defrosted. Brown sausage in a large skillet, put aside in bowl. Remove tails from shrimp, add a tablespoon of oil to same pan and cook shrimp until just cooked (do not over cook). Put shrimp in the same bowl. Chop green pepper, onion, celery, garlic (in that order), and brown in same skillet with the other tablespoon of oil. Put in the same bowl. Boil cauliflower rice for 8 minutes, drain. Add tomato sauce, paste, thyme, salt and pepper, parsley, Sriracha, Cayenne Pepper and heat mixture well (in same skillet). Add ingredients in bowl to the pan and mix and heat just enough to make everything hot. Do not overcook shrimp! If need be, add shrimp last.
