Louisiana Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo
It’s hard to believe that this gumbo recipe is carb and gluten free, but it is!
Spicy, hearty, delicious sausage and shrimp gumbo pairs beautifully with cauliflower rice.
It’s full of different vegetables with plump and succulent shrimp, perfect for any occasion.
The best part is that you can make a large batch and then portion them out for the freezer and pack them for an easy grab and go lunch.
Traditional gumbo has both file powder and okra, but if you can’t find them, it’s okay.
Both of them will help thicken the broth. Make sure if the option is open to you, you get organic ingredients.
Not only will they taste better, but they’re better for you.

Nice concept! Being from Louisiana, I just couldn’t do it without some form of a Roux. I would probably add a tiny but of carbs, but keep the essence of a gumbo by creating a small roux from coconut or almond flour (or a mix). I’ll have to play with the recipe and see :)
I agree about needing a roux! You can always use cornstarch for your roux – not quite the same as flour but it works.
Is interesting cooking with receipts.
Thank you God bless you and family I’m not able to get organic my family goes shopping for me is it alright to use what they get

You should not use file powder with okra…one or the other…it will taste bitter
