Paleo Paella

1 lb chicken tenderloins
3 nitrate free, gluten free, sugar free italian sausages
1 lb frozen uncooked shrimp
2 T olive oil
1 diced white onion
4 cloves garlic crushed
15 oz can diced tomatoes- sugar free
1 cup water
1 head cauliflower
dash of red pepper flakes
2 tsp dried basil
1 T paprika
1T garlic herb seasoning
dash of garlic powder
dash of cayenne pepper
dash of onion powder
dash of bijol seasoning - use saffron if you have it, but its darn expensive! Bijol seasoning was a gift from a friend from Miami and gives the paella a great yellow/orange color!

Let frozen shrimp thaw in bowl of cold water. Cube the chicken into 1 inch pieces and combine with basil, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and paprika until evenly coated. Cut sausage into slices. Over medium heat, in a large skillet, heat olive oil and saute sausage until browned. Remove sausage from pan and reserve. In same skillet cook chicken until cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and reserve with sausage. In same pan, saute onion and garlic. Add diced tomatoes, red pepper flakes, garlic herb seasoning, and onion powder. Cook together until slightly carmelized. Add chicken, sausage, and 1 cup water and allow to simmer.

While simmering, cut up head of cauliflower and make rice in food processor. When done, add cauliflower and shrimp and bijol into skillet. Cook on low for 8 minutes until shrimp are cooked through.

Enjoy!
