Keto Cajun Shrimp Creole with Cauliflower Rice

It’s 5 pm. What’s for dinner? Never fear. Today, I’ve got you covered with my favorite shrimp stew with cauliflower rice.

This is a delicious recipe you are sure to love. And your picky family will, too. Mine does!

Why I Love this Recipe

Keto Shrimp Creole is my healthy spin on a classic Southern dish.

That’s why I’ve been making it for years. Recently, I’ve reworked it, though. Now it’s got only the healthiest ingredients!

Here are all the reasons you need to try it.

First, it’s SO tasty, savory, and comforting. The recipe is easy and relatively quick.

In a pinch, I will leave out the fresh peppers and celery; that way, I can make it with the ingredients I already have on hand in my pantry and freezer.

Honestly, we still love the stripped-down version!

Ingredients

Below are the main ingredients you will need.

Butter. I use Kerrigold grass-fed

Onion. chopped white onion, 

Peppers. Choose your favorite color: red, green, or yellow. I go with red

Celery. A few stalks will do

Fire-roasted tomatoes. Use diced tomatoes in a can. Buy fire-roasted if you can find it for a rich fire-roasted flavor.

Chicken stock or broth

Herbs & Spices. Parsley, Cajun or creole spice, Hot pepper sauce, Salt and Pepper. These all contribute to the dish’s tasty spice profile.

You can purchase a store-bought Creole or Cajun spice to use in this recipe or make your own, thanks to Emeril Lagasse. His recipe is a perfect punch of Creole flavors.

Shrimp. I use large shrimp raw with the tail off; frozen or fresh will do. I buy the bags in the freezer section at Costco.

Beef Sausages. optional. I also purchase these Grass-fed varieties at Costco.

Cauliflower or White Rice. I use Cauliflower rice for a low-carb choice, but creole tastes fantastic alone or over any rice.

You can make it yourself with fresh cauliflower, buy it freshly premade, or go with white rice.

I like to keep bags of cauliflower rice in my freezer. It’s a great base for dishes and healthier than white rice.

When fully dressed up with all the fresh veggies, it is “fancy” enough for guests and completed with a salad or a side vegetable.

For more delicious cajun flavor, try this air fryer cajun chicken or hearty andouille sausage pasta.
