Keto Gumbo (Hearty Seafood & Sausage Stew, No Rice)
Yes, with a tweak: request no rice. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for American food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and flavorful Louisiana-style stew, packed with seafood (like shrimp and crab) and smoky sausage, thickened traditionally with okra and filé powder. Modified to be served without rice and use keto-friendly thickening methods.
Key ingredients
Andouille sausage, shrimp, crab, okra, celery, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes (minimal), chicken/seafood broth, olive oil, garlic, Cajun spices, filé powder (optional).
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no rice. Confirm no traditional flour-based roux is used, or ensure a very light, dark roux made with a minimal amount of fat and flour, or ideally, a keto-friendly thickener like okra or filé powder. Confirm no added sugars in the broth or tomato products.
Watch out for
Traditional gumbo often uses a flour-based roux (significant carbs); often served over white rice; bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes contribute natural sugars; potential for hidden sugars in broths or spice blends.
