SHRIMP CREOLE

1 cup chopped onion             14 g
1 cup chopped celery              3g
2 med green peppers, chopped              12g
2 cloves garlic, minced                  0-2g (my jar of minced = 0)
¼ cup butter or oil

1 can (15 oz) low-carb tomato sauce       2g (8 carb, 6 fiber)
1 cup water
1 tsp salt (I use Morton’s Nature’s Seasoning)
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 bay leaves, crushed
Dry Italian seasoning – I throw in about 2 T.

14-16 oz. shrimp              0
3 cups cauli-rice             1.5 (1/2 cup)
Parmesan/Asiago Cheese

Cook and stir onion, celery, pepper (I use red/orange/yellow - don't like the green) and garlic in butter about 5 min. or until tender.  Remove from heat and stir in tomato sauce, water and seasonings.  Simmer 15 min. (add additional water if needed).  I put the above in my pressure cooker and cook for 20 min, to infuse flavors.  (Prior to the pressure cooker, I cooked it on the stove.)  Add shrimp, heat to boiling, cover and cook over Med/Lo-Med. 10-20 min. or until shrimp is pink.  Serve over cauli rice/potatoes or tofu pasta.  Sprinkle with cheese.

**I make just the sauce a day ahead so flavors meld - a big improvement in flavor.  When I want to serve it the next day I heat sauce, then add the shrimp and cook.  Many times, I will make extra sauce and freeze for future meals.  

 
Serves 6 – if you’re Oinkers like us, then it only serves four!!   ;D ;D
Net carbs = 32.5 (5.4g each for six servings/8.13g each for four servings).
