Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until they reach the size and texture of rice.
Finely chop the garlic and onion. Dice the red bell pepper and zucchini.
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and onion, cooking until the onion is translucent.
Add the red bell pepper and zucchini to the pan, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp, scallops, and white fish pieces to the pan, cooking for about 5 minutes or until the seafood is opaque and cooked through.
Remove the seafood mix from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the pulsed cauliflower rice and season it with salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
Cook the cauliflower rice for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and slightly golden.
Return the seafood mixture to the pan, combining it with the cauliflower rice. Heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
Chop the fresh parsley and stir it into the rice along with the juice from half a lemon.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with lemon wedges for garnish.
