Description

Jambalaya is a classic Louisiana dish that combines meat, vegetables, and rice in a spicy and flavorful one-pot meal.

The end result is a low-carb and keto-friendly version of jambalaya that's just as delicious as the original.

Notes

This recipe can easily be adapted to suit your taste preferences. If you prefer a spicier jambalaya, add more cayenne pepper or hot sauce.

Recipe Tips

To save time, you can use pre-cut cauliflower rice that's available at most grocery stores. You can also make your own by pulsing cauliflower florets in a food processor until they're rice-sized. This dish is great for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. It also freezes well, so you can make a big batch and freeze leftovers for a quick and easy meal later on.
