  1. Low carb diets do not include the rice and bread shown in the picture. If you are doing a low carb dish provide items other than high carb forbidden foods. The sausage also unless of a specific nitrate free source is forbidden. Disappointed
     
  2. Very good! I sauteed the red peppers onions, and garlic, added the sausage then added the paste deglaze with brandy. Added the shell and thyme to the broth and simmered for 20 minutes strained then added to the veggies and sausage. Then added the old bay , cream (used non fat half and half and the shrimp. Cooked for 5 or so minutes. So forgot the parsley! And missed it! I served over Recipe #411184. Thank you for an easy quick meal that was very good eats.

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies. <a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=rsc002.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/rsc002.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/lucyatpoppys005.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"><a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=006.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/006.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=hilfiger001.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/hilfiger001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
