Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Low Carb Cajun Jambalaya.
Step 1
Start by warming a generous splash of olive oil and a pat of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the butter has melted and the mixture is shimmering, toss in the diced onion and andouille sausage.
Step 3
Stir them together, letting them cook for about 10 minutes until the onion turns a lovely golden brown and the sausage releases its savory aroma.
Step 4
Next, add in the chopped garlic, stirring for another minute or two until your kitchen fills with that irresistible garlicky scent.
Step 5
Now it’s time to bring in the vibrant flavors—mix in the crushed tomatoes, diced green bell peppers, and zucchini, along with a sprinkle of Cajun seasoning, a dash of hot sauce, and the chicken broth.
Step 6
Give everything a good stir and bring the mixture to a lively boil.
Step 7
Once bubbling, lower the heat and let it simmer uncovered, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce for about 15 minutes.
Step 8
This is where the magic happens! Finally, fold in the chopped chicken and shrimp, letting them warm through for just 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 9
You’ll know it’s ready when everything is heated and the aroma is simply irresistible.
Step 10
Enjoy your delicious creation!.
