Low Cal and Low Carb Dinner – 395 Calories 12g Carbs
Louisiana Creole Jambalaya. This was a dish I was really looking forward to having because I love EVERYTHING WITH SHRIMP. It took about an hour to prep, cook, and then finally serve but it was well worth the wait. I served it to my two young grandies and they loved it. The recipe includes andouille sausage, chicken, onion, celery, bell pepper, garlic, tomatoes, cauliflower rice, herbs, and of course shrimp – 395 calories and 12g carbs.
