Spicy Jambalaya Stew- Keto Friendly


Opportunity presents itself in different ways.
I found a pack of very spicy hot link sausages in the fridge. Where did these come from? LOL, I know my hubby cannot walk by a Hot Link at the grocery store when does the shopping (I love that about him), but he did complain that these were extra spicy. OK, challenge on... what to do with these?

I had a look in the freezer... chicken breasts, frozen cooked shrimp and mahi mahi.
OK everyone, dinner is in the house! I am now official inspired.

We were quite happy with the end result of this throw together meal. Brown the chicken, brown the fish, saute the onions/peppers, add the sausage and tomatoes. Add some seasoning and heat up.  Viola!  Dinner is served.
We're reducing carbs, so we ate it as a stew, but it would be wonderful over rice too.

Serves 4
Ingredients

2-3 Tbsp olive oil 1 chicken breast, cut into 1" cubes
1 8 oz mahi mahi, or other firm fish, cut into 1" cubes
1/2 onion, diced
1/2 bell pepper, diced

1 tsp garlic, chopped
8 oz prawns, cleaned (cooked or uncooked)
1 hot link, sliced
1 15 oz can of petite diced tomatoes 
1-2 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt & pepper to taste

Over medium high heat, add some olive oil and brown the chicken, removing it to another plate while you brown the fish. Remove the fish to the plate with the chicken. In the same pan, saute the onions, bell pepper and garlic. When they are starting to soften and just starting to brown on the edges, add the sliced hot link and continue to cook until the hot link gets a little color/crispness.  Add the petite diced tomatoes, reserved chicken and mahi mahi (plus accumulated juices), seasoning and the frozen or fresh cleaned prawns.  Bring gently to a boil, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste and serve at once.

We ate this for lunch the following day and we were thrilled with how good it was after reheating.
