Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 500 grams mixed seafood
  • 150 grams chorizo
  • ½ cup yellow pepper diced
  • ½ cup red pepper diced
  • 8 oz. canned green peas rinsed
  • 1 cup cauliflower rice
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ tablespoon turmeric
  • 1 tomato grated
  • ½ cup fresh parsley chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup broth

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or paella pan over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the chorizo to the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it starts to release its oils and becomes slightly crispy.
  • Add the yellow and red pepper to the pan. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
  • Stir in the cauliflower rice, smoked paprika, and turmeric. Cook for 1 minute to coat the vegetables and spices.
  • Add the grated tomato, half of the chopped parsley and chickpeas to the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Pour in the broth and stir well to combine all the ingredients. Bring to a simmer.
  • Add the seafood (shrimp, scallops, and any other seafood you are using) to the pan, spreading it evenly over the mixture.
  • Cover the pan and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and the flavors have melded together.
  • Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
  • Garnish with the remaining parsley.
  • Serve hot with lemon and additional parsley if desired.
