Low Carb Jambalaya Zoodle Pasta
This jambalaya recipe is inspired by the real thing, but it has been converted into a pasta sauce with a creamy base. Loaded with sausage and shrimp, this pasta sauce is perfectly spiced to taste peppery and have a little heat. Served with zucchini noodles, it’s a great afternoon or evening meal!

20 min
Step 1
Prepare the first 3 ingredients by slicing the kielbasa, peeling and deveining the shrimp, and dicing the bell pepper.Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over high heat. Cook the sausage, shrimp, and peppers in the oil for up to 5 minutes, until you get the ingredients soft with golden brown edges all around.Step 3
Turn the heat to a medium and pour in the chicken broth. Bring the broth to a gentle simmer. Then, remove a ½ cup of the liquid, and whisk the xanthan gum into the removed liquid. Slowly whisk the thickened liquid back into the pan. Let the pan simmer gently as it thickens.Step 4
Still on a low simmer, stir the tomato paste and all seasonings into the pan. Turn the heat to low, and let the sauce reduce and thicken.Step 5
Meanwhile, use a vegetable peeler to peel wide noodles from a large zucchini. The amount listed in the ingredients is your full yield after peeling the zucchini (2 oz of raw zucchini per person).Step 6
Turn the heat off, but leave the pan on the stove. Toss the zucchini noodles into the jambalaya sauce and cover with a lid. Let the sauce steam the zucchini for 1-2 minutes, so the noodles are al dente. Enjoy hot!

I bumped the serv size to 9...well I’ve never used xanthan before and I feel that the adjusted amount the recipe calculated was way to much. My dish came out too slimy so I was dissapointed.. it also increased paprika an cheyenne way too much 9 t. I only added 2 but what if I did add all that thinking I was following the right steps...in all I won’t make this again, it had a good flavor but texture not for me.
