Creole Style Stir Fry

Missing that Creole flavor? A friend of ours was telling us about something his wife had made with ground sausage and shrimp. My imagination ran a bit wild and all i could think of was Gumbo and Gazpacho. Not really sure how I got to this spot in the thought process, but that’s the joy of creating different recipes!  I am not the best at naming different concoctions – so if you all think of something better to name this thing, let me know 

Mr. Junkie was very happy and had a large amount! “Comfort Food!” is what he called it. I am sure we will be making this quite a bit! It was very filling!

We put ours on a bed of fried cabbage, but you could use all kind of things instead of cabbage! Try Riced Cauliflower instead!
