Number of Servings:

Ingredients:

  1. 1 bags - mussels
  2. 1 bags - peeled, cooked shrimp (smaller shrimp work best)
  3. 1 pounds - calamari uncooked
  4. 2 pounds - cauliflower rice (Not frozen packages)
  5. - extra virgin olive oil
  6. 3 cloves - garlic chopped
  7. 1 - large white onion chopped
  8. 3 - lemons (2 zested, 1 whole for juice)
  9. 1 - jalapeno pepper chopped (optional)
  10. - oregano, paprika, red pepper flakes to taste
  11. 1 - pinch of saffron
  12. - fresh parsley chopped
  13. - salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

You need to prepare each component separately, and then combine at the end.

Mussels:
Pick out mussels that are already open and discard (open means they are bad). Bring a pot of water and oil to a boil (not too much water, you don’t need it to cover all the mussels). Add the mussels and let them cook for 5-10 minutes (until they all open). Set aside.

Shrimp:
Set aside as they are already cooked and peeled.

Calamari:
If they calamari are not pre-cut, cut them in small rolls. In a pan, heat olive oil until very hot. Add the calamari to the oil and cook for 2 minutes EXACTLY! Any longer they will get rubbery and tasteless. Once calamari is cooked, drizzle with lemon juice. Set aside.

Rice:
In a large pot, heat olive oil until hot and add onions, garlic and the jalapenos. Once they are brown, add the parsley, saffron and then the cauliflower rice. Stir constantly for 2 minutes.

Combine the rice with the mussels, shrimp and calamari and mix together. Squeeze in the juice from one lemon; add the lemon zest, oregano, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.

Mix thoroughly so the flavors are combined.
