Recipe Review: Low Carb Shrimp and Sausage Skillet by The Bettered Blondie

In an attempt to eat healthier (and reduce the number of trips to the drive thru!), I searched Pinterest for healthy recipes that I knew my family would love. While a lot of recipes looked delicious, just by the image, you could tell that it would require a chef’s culinary skills and more time than I have available with a 9-5 and a four year old to create.

Lo and behold, I came across Sarah’s Low Carb Shrimp and Sausage Skillet recipe from The Bettered Blondie . The recipe boasts being keto, paleo, and Whole30 friendly (so if any of these diets are your jam, this recipe is right up your alley), but what attracted me to the recipe was the tons of veggies and protein included in the recipe. The fact that it took 30-40 minutes to prepare was an added bonus.

The fiber and water content from the zucchini, bell peppers, and onions make this dish so voluminous that you don’t miss having any starchy carbs. Although layering this dish over a half cup of Jasmine or brown rice, quinoa, or couscous would also be delicious. Paired with protein-dense shrimp and andouille sausage, you will leave the table with a happy belly! And I strongly recommend following Sarah’s advice to use raw, not pre-cooked shrimp…it makes a world of a difference.

The blend of spices to season the dish in addition to diced jalapeños for a little heat really make this skillet dish stand out. This is definitely a recipe that I would make again and again for my family.
