CP Summertime Jambalaya - 12.5g Carbs, 3g Fiber, 6.9g Sugar

From: Crock Pot Slow Cooker
It's time again for #CrockPot Sunday! When he's not spending time outdoors or with friends, Mark likes to shake things up in the #kitchen by converting stovetop #recipes into slow cooker recipes with his CrockPot Slow Cooker. Here's his version of Summertime Jambalaya give it a try and tell us what you think!

12 oz skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into roughly 1-inch cubes
1 lb shrimp
1 lb smoked sausage, cut in 1/2" slices
2 bell peppers (any color), chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (15 oz can) whole tomatoes
1 (8 oz can) tomato paste
1 can low sodium beef broth OR low sodium chicken broth
1/2 tsp basil
1 Tbsp hot sauce
1 Tbsp cayenne powder
1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
1 Tbsp parsley
1 Tbsp oregano

Combine all ingredients except shrimp in your CrockPot Slow Cooker. Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours. Add shrimp and cook an additional 30 minutes. Serve over rice. Can it really be that easy? The shocking answer is yes.

A couple of notes: Feel free to substitute ingredients liberally. Maybe crab instead of shrimp or andouille instead of smoked sausage. If you like some extra heat, kick up the cayenne powder, hot sauce and Cajun seasoning. Some people get adventurous and serve this dish over pasta instead of rice. Don't be afraid to dip your toes into the pool of possibilities!
