3 tbsp. oil
2 cups onions, minced
2 cups green peppers, minced
2 cups celery, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
3 tbsp cajun spice
2 cups canned clams with liquid
2 lbs. polish style kielbassa (smoked cooked sausage)
1 14 oz. can chopped tomatoes
2 lbs. shrimp, raw, no shells
At around 8 servings it was 11 grams of carb but I'd say it's more like 10 to 12 servings. It was very yummy, freezes well. If you make it take a photo and share.
In a largish soup pot, heat oil on high heat, add onions, green peppers and celery and saute 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in bay leaf, seasonings, garlic and saute for another 5 minutes, stirring ingredients frequently.
Add remaining ingredients except for shrimp, bring to a boil and simmer for about 25 minutes or until vegetables are well cooked. Just before serving stir through shrimp until just cooked (a minute or two).
I wanted to use Okra to make it more authentic but I didn't have any in the house. If you decide to add some, I'd cut back an equal amount on the celery to keep the carb count the same. I served it over white rice for the kids. A very easy to adapt recipe for the non low carbers.
