• 1/2 lb Calamari (rings)
• 4 cups Cauliflower rice
• 1/4 cup Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 medium Bell pepper (red)
• 1 14.5 oz can Diced tomatoes
• 2 cups Fish broth
• 1/2 teaspoon Saffron threads
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
• for serving Lemon wedges

Instructions

1. 1Rinse the 1 lb mussels and 1 lb clams under cold running water. Discard any mussels or clams that are already open. If any remain closed after rinsing, tap them gently with your finger; discard any that do not close.
2. 2Heat the 1/4 cup olive oil in a large paella pan or skillet (at least 12 inches wide) over medium heat, which is about 350°F (175°C). Add the 1 medium onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice, and the 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the 4 cloves of garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more until you can smell its fragrance.
3. 3Stir in the 1 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes (undrained), the 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads, the 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, the 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
4. 4Add the 4 cups of cauliflower rice to the pan and stir to combine with the other ingredients. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower rice is heated through.
5. 5Pour in the 2 cups of fish broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
6. 6Arrange the 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined), 1 lb mussels, 1 lb clams, and 1/2 lb calamari rings evenly over the cauliflower rice mixture in the pan.
7. 7Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil. Reduce the heat to low, about 250°F (120°C), and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. The seafood is cooked through when the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the mussels and clams have opened. Discard any mussels or clams that remain closed after cooking.
8. 8Remove the pan from the heat. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately.
