[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Re: Low Fat Diabetic New Orleans Shrimp Creole - 23g Carbs, 6g Fiber, 12g Sugars

 

While there is arguable value in not using any oil in this recipe, you really can't "saute" all those vegetables in white wine, let alone in 1/4 cup of it.  The vegetables will shed water in the process, so you are really just boiling the vegetables.  I thought we were past this obsession with zero fat recipes. 

Serving it with rice just obviates the value for diabetics.

Also, okra is not traditional in shrimp creole.  It is in gumbo.
