INGREDIENTS
4 oz Shrimp
3 oz Scallops
1 cup Cauliflower Rice
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Baby Spinach
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper
1/4 small Yellow Onion
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1 pinch Saffron Threads
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Pat the shrimp and scallops dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Infuse saffron: In a small bowl, add a pinch of saffron threads to a tablespoon of warm water.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the finely chopped garlic and a quarter of a small diced yellow onion until fragrant and translucent.
Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are opaque and lightly browned. Pour in the saffron infusion during the last minute of cooking to meld the flavors.
In a separate pan, heat the remaining teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice, stirring occasionally, for about 4-5 minutes until it's tender and slightly golden.
Mix in the chopped cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, and red bell pepper with the cauliflower rice; cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Plate the cauliflower rice and vegetable mixture, and top with the pan-seared saffron seafood. Squeeze a lemon wedge over the top for a bright finish.
