Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo
with cauliflower rice / peppers / okra
With creole roots, gumbo is a hearty, flavorful stew that combines shrimp, andouille sausage and a delicious medley of vegetables.
Smarts: Andouille sausage gives gumbo a fair amount of spice, so feel free to use a more mild pre-cooked sausage if you’d prefer something more mild. (Or add some hot sauce if you’d like it even more spicy!)
