About Recipe

Paella is one of my all-time favorite dishes ever and this Cauliflower Rice Seafood Paella Recipe is right up there with the popular Spanish Seafood Paella. It offers the exact same flavors and the texture of the cauliflower rice is spot on. This paella is super healthy, easy to make and is low carb & grain free.

8 fresh mussels

1 red bell pepper
