idea for low-carb ketchup packet-substitute

In the past, I have only used ketchup for french fries. Since I don't
eat french fries anymore, I don't use ketchup.

Meatloaf, hamburgers, hot dogs, eggs, sausages, bacon, corned beef
hash (still have on occasion). I also use BBQ on chicken cutlets,
ribs. WHen I go out I will have more carby meals, but I'm trying to be
as conservative as possible.

At home I use it when making taco/chili & meatloaf.

And good fries/potatoes don't need ketchup. That's why I only ate
KFC's potato wedges--they are good by themselves. French fries are
boring. Never understood why people liked fast food fries--they're
just a edible serving utensil for ketchup.

Hamburgers, Hotdogs, and (I know this will gross some of you out) scrambled
eggs.

Au contraire! Scrambled eggs with mayo & ketchup is tres bon!

I have a fabulous shrimp recipe that uses a small amount of ketchup in
the sauce, too. Then there's meatloaf.

That's about all I use ketchup for, and rarely at that, so I'm still
using regular ketchup. Not enough or often enough to warrant buying LC
ketchup yet.

Care to share? I have a fabulous shrimp recipe that uses a can of tomato
soup that is out of this world. I'll post it (not especially a low carb
recipe, but in limited amounts it is OK) I'll post mine if you post
yours.....:-)

TERRIFIC SHRIMP MOLD /SPREAD



1 can tomato soup

2 pkgs knox gelatine



Dissolve gelatine in 1/4 cup hot water and blend into tomato soup while
still warming on stove



blend in 6 oz room temperature cream cheese & remove from heat



add 1/4 cup chopped onion

3/4 cup chopped celery

2 cans shrimp - chopped

1 cup mayonnaise



Grease bowl or mold w/butter

Pour mixture in and chill till set

Gently loosen edges with a knife then unmold



Note: I have seen this done in a mold shaped

like a fish, with cucumber slices arranged

artfully like scales, and garnished with various

vegetables.

I'll type it up and post it. Look for it under REC: Shrimp Saute (so I
can share with everyone else, too!).
