Low-Carb Crock Pot "gumbo"

Doodface's Note:

This was an experiment (anyone low-carbing understands all the exeriments you try). It turned out to be one of my favorite foods once it is all done. If you follow the directions exactly, it will be pretty spicy. To cut down on the spicyness, leave out the habanero sauce.

I made this recipe - it was spicy without habanero and tabasco! So the last few times I've made it I've customized it a little bit. I doubled the meat, substitued pressure cooked chicken breasts for rotisserie chicken, and added chicken stock from the pressure cooker to give it a little more juice. Very, very good recipe. Everyone has their personal tastes (I don't like onions or mushrooms, so I left those out) and it is super easy to customize. It's a little on the expensive side, but you'll have leftovers for days. Good stuff.

Great recipie. Making it a second time again, but this time I am going to cut down on the salt. Last time with the salt and the seasoning together it came out a little salty, but none the less great.
