Paleo Pen Pals and #Whole30 Cajun Mushroom Encrusted Rainbow Trout

January 25, 2013 By Karen Sorenson

This month I participated in Paleo Pen Pals.  I had participated in a foodie pen pal group before, but I was looking for something a little more low carb/paleo friendly.  Luckily, Tarah from What I Gather and Brittanie from Three Diets One Dinner had the great idea of forming a Paleo Pen Pals exchange.  Basically each month you are paired up with another Paleo blogger or someone that follows the Paleo diet (you don’t have to have a blog to participate, just a love of cooking healthy, delicious food) and you exchange a unique, paleo-friendly ingredient/local item that your partner can use to create a delicious Paleo recipe. If you are interested in joining the fun, you can sign up at the Paleo Pen Pals Facebook Page or by sending them an email at paleopenpals[at]gmail[dot]com.   

My Pen Pal this month was Ute over at GROKette’s Primal Musings and she sent me some great stuff! In my package was Wild Albacore Tuna, Jambalaya Seasoning Mix, and dried Chanterelle mushrooms. Everything was Whole30 approved, so I couldn’t wait to whip something up with those ingredients!  I decided to save the tuna for later, but I wanted to make something with seafood so I made Cajun Mushroom Encrusted Rainbow Trout.
