Healthy Low Calorie Jambalaya Recipe

Yields: 2 Dinner and 1 Lunch Serving Ingredients: 1 tbsp of Olive Oil 2 Cups of Cooked Brown Rice, cooked in low-sodium chicken stock ¼ cup of diced red onion ¼ cup of diced zucchini ¼ cup of diced celery ¼ cup diced peppers (I like banana peppers, but red or green are more traditional) ½-1 cup of low-sodium V8 juice 1 tbsp of minced garlic 1 cup of cooked de-veined shrimp ½ cup of cook lean ham or turkey sausage Tabasco sauce or your favorite hot sauce to taste Creole spice blend to taste Directions In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil on medium heat. Once hot, put in 1/4 cup of red onion and the minced garlic and sauté. Add the rest of the vegetables and sauté until slightly brown. Add 1/2 cup to 1 cup of V8 juice in with the vegetables. Add creole sauce and Tabasco sauce to taste. Now add your cooked brown rice, shrimp, ham, or other cooked meat. At this point, if you'd prefer a more 'soupy' consistency, add more V8 juice. Taste to see if you should add an any additional spices or hot sauce. Turn the heat down to low and let simmer for about 30 minutes.
