RECIPE — Is This A Blt Pizza Or A Disaster?

Oh, look at that, a keto jambalaya recipe with cauliflower rice. Well, let’s see if we can put together a version of this dish that doesn’t taste like a culinary disaster, shall we? Grab your ingredients and let’s get started.

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons of ghee (clarified butter)
• 1 cup of chopped green bell pepper
• 1 cup of chopped celery
• 1 cup of chopped onion
• 1 pound of skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 14 ounces of andouille sausage, cut lengthwise and sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch slices
• 2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon of hot sauce
• 1 (10 ounce) can of diced tomatoes with green chiles (such as Rotel®), drained slightly
• ½ cup of unsalted chicken stock
• 1 (16 ounce) package of frozen riced cauliflower
• 1 pound of frozen raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Melt the ghee in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bell pepper, celery, and onion. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften and the onion turns soft and translucent, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes.
2. Next, throw in the chicken, sliced sausage, Cajun seasoning, and hot sauce. Cook and stir until everything is well combined, which should take 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Now, add the drained tomatoes and stock and bring the mixture to a boil.
4. Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer until the chicken is cooked through, which takes about 15 minutes.
5. Remove the lid and add the riced cauliflower, breaking up any clumps while stirring.
6. Add the frozen shrimp and crank up the heat to medium-high. Push each shrimp below the surface of the hot tomato sauce and season with black pepper. Bring it to a boil and cook until the shrimp curls and turns pink in color, which should take about 6 to 8 minutes.

And there you have it, a keto jambalaya with cauliflower rice. Now, let’s hope that this dish doesn’t leave us craving the real deal. Serve it up and try not to miss the rice too much.

Wine Pairing

Well, considering the bold flavors in this keto jambalaya dish, you’ll need a wine that can stand up to those Cajun spices and hearty ingredients. I’d recommend a robust red wine like a Zinfandel from Ridge Vineyards. Its rich, jammy fruit flavors and peppery notes will complement the bold flavors of the jambalaya without being overshadowed. Just make sure to chill it slightly before serving to balance out the heat of the dish.
