Leftovers - Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage Gumbo

Today’s Menu: Leftovers - Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage Gumbo






Not much going on today. I had to take the car to the shop, needed new brakes. I got lucky though, only the front pads and rotors. Could have been worse I guess. Ran some virus checks and deleted some old files on the computer for most of the afternoon. For dinner tonight Leftovers! Reheated the Leftovers from last night’s dinner, Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage Gumbo.




No way I was going to let this leftover go to waste! This is one of my favorite dishes. It's got Pasta, Shrimp, Smoked Turkey Sausage, and incredible flavor. As far as reheating it I just put the leftovers in a small sauce pan and reheated it on medium low, till heated through. The dish is every bit as good the second time around! Added a few shakes of the Frank's Red Hot Sauce for a little heat. I also had a slice of Klosterman Wheat Bread. Below I've posted last night's description of dinner that includes how to prepare the dish and the ingredients. Love those leftovers! For dessert later a SO Delicious Dairy Free Minis Vanilla Sandwiches.




I used a box of Zatarain’s Gumbo Pasta Dinner Mix for the Gumbo base. Very easy to prepare, takes

about 25-30 minutes. I just boiled the stock that was in the packet, Jalapeno Slices, sliced Butterball Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage, and a few shakes of the Frank’s Red Hot Sauce for 15 minutes. Then I added Extra Large Shrimp and simmered another 5 minutes. Said and done the Gumbo is ready to serve and It turned out fantastic! To serve I added a couple, well  a few, shakes of Frank's Hot Sauce. Nice flavor, a little heat from the Hot Sauce, incredible tasting stock, meaty Shrimp and Sausage, and plenty of Pasta, makes one nice hearty and delicious dinner.

Shrimp and Andouille Sausage Gumbo w/ Sour Dough Mini Boule

Dinner Tonight: Shrimp and Andouille Sausage Gumbo w/ Sour Dough Mini Boule

A fairly mild morning compared to what we've been having, about 26 with no wind. Warming up to rain they say, with freezing rain overnight. Did some house cleaning and a load of laundry for Mom while she was at Church. Settled in to watch the NFL Playoffs for the afternoon. For dinner tonight a real favorite of mine, Shrimp and Andouille Sausage Gumbo w/ Sour Dough Mini Boule.

To make it I used a box of Zatarain’s Gumbo Pasta Dinner Mix for the Gumbo base, Johnsonville Andouille Sausage, and a bag of Kroger Brand Jumbo Shrimp. The Zatarain’s Gumbo Pasta Dinner Mix uses Pasta instead of Rice. Very easy to prepare, takes about 25-30 minutes. I just boil the stock that's in the packet, sliced the Johnsonville Andouille Sausage into bite size pieces and added them to the stock along with a few shakes of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce for 10-15 minutes. Then I added Extra Large Shrimp and simmered another 3-6 minutes. And the Gumbo is ready to serve and It turned out fantastic! Nice flavor, incredible tasting stock, meaty Shrimp and Sausage, and plenty of Pasta, makes one easily prepared hearty and delicious dish. Enough leftovers for a couple of lunches too!

I also baked the remaining Sour Dough Mini Boule to go with the Gumbo. For dessert later Breyer’s Carb Smart Vanilla Bean Ice Cream in a Waffle Bowl topped with Smucker’s Sugar Free Hot Fudge Chocolate Topping. Came across the Keebler Waffle Bowls at Kroger the other day. They’re Waffle Cones shaped into a bowl, you can eat the bowl as your eating the Ice Cream, love these!

(Leftovers) Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage Gumbo w/ Cornbread Ears

Dinner Tonight: (Leftovers) Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage Gumbo w/ Cornbread Ears

Beautiful morning out today. Started the day off by making Pancakes and Turkey Bacon! I used the Bisquick Heart Smart. It’s a Low Fat and 0 Cholesterol pancake mix. There are 190 calories and 32 net carbs per serving, 3 Pancakes per serving. I used Egg Beater’s instead of 1 Egg to prepare the mix with. To top the Pancakes I used Maple Grove Farms Sugar Free Maple Flavor Syrup. Then I also had some Jennie – O Turkey Bacon. Spent most of the afternoon with Dad at the rehab center, today is his Birthday. He turned 93 today. We had a Birthday Cake and 11 people showed up, he was really surprised. Hopefully he’ll be home soon. Thank goodness for leftovers! Because I really didn’t feel like cooking and besides that the dinner last night was fantastic! So tonight I warmed up the Leftover Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage Gumbo w/ Cornbread Ears.

To make last night’s dinner and turn it into tonight’s dinner I used a box of Zatarain’s Gumbo Pasta Dinner Mix for the Gumbo base. First time used this with the Pasta instead of Rice. Very easy to prepare, takes about 25-30 minutes. I just boiled the stock that was in the packet, Jalapeno Slices, sliced Butterball Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage, and a few shakes of the Frank’s Red Hot Sauce for 15 minutes. Then I added Extra Large Shrimp and simmered another 10 minutes. Said and done the Gumbo is ready to serve and It turned out fantastic! Nice flavor, incredible tasting stock, meaty Shrimp and Sausage, and plenty of Pasta, makes one nice hearty and delicious dinner.

I also made some Cornbread Ears. It’s normal baked Cornbread but in a cast iron baking mold in the shape of Ears of Corn. I used Martha White Corn Meal Mix. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.
