Low Carb Jambalaya

10 ratings

This Jambalaya recipe sticks as close to the traditional style stew as possible without breaking any Keto rules. Some of the classic ingredients have been replaced with Ketogenic vegetables. Instead of being served over white rice, cauliflower rice takes its place! This is marvelous comfort food, so cook up a large pot of this Jambalaya when you’re in need of a hearty meal.

1 h 1 min

  • Step 1

    Prepare the tilapia, chicken sausage, and shrimp by chopping them into medium sized pieces.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Chop the bell pepper and green beans. Combine these two ingredients with the olive oil in a large stew pot. Cover with a lid, and cook on medium-high heat for about 6 minutes or until the vegetables are soft and tender.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Stir the protein into the pot. Also stir in the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, thyme, and cayenne. Cook with the lid on for about 5 more minutes.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Pour in the chicken broth. Bring the pot to a strong simmer. Then, let the ingredients simmer on low, with the lid on, for about 30 minutes.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    After simmering, stir in the cauliflower rice. Cook the pot with the lid off for about 10 minutes - until the rice is cooked through and the jambalaya has reduced to a thick stew.

    Serve your bowls of jambalaya with chopped green onion!

    Hubby loved this. Great meal. He said he could eat it for every meal.

      Great recipe to use as a guide. I switched a few vegetables out but kept the carb ratio the same. A couple of jalapeños instead of green pepper allowed me to add in a small zucchini and celery. I also used smoked sardines instead of the tilapia for flavor and added calcium.

              Flavor is good except too much red pepper and way too much liquid. I make a very good traditional Paul Prudhomme jambalaya and this is good. Don't miss the rice at all. I'll cut back on the red pepper and use a cup less liquid next time.

                Update: I let it simmer on the stove uncovered until the liquid cooked down. About 20 minutes. Now it's more like jambalaya 👍😳

                I’m going to try this I found some andouille chicken sausage at Costco. Not sure I’ll use green beans. Thanks for sharing.

                        Mine came out more of a gumbo than jambalaya. Either way, shockingly good!
