Cost: $$$ paleo dinner mediterranean healthy seafood Steps Grate the cauliflower into rice-sized pieces using a food processor or a box grater. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the grated cauliflower to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired tenderness. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and sliced olives into the cauliflower rice, and season with salt and pepper. Remove the cauliflower rice from the skillet and keep warm. Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season them with salt, pepper, and paprika. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the scallops to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Serve the scallops over the lemon cauliflower rice and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Get recipes made for you on the Simmer app. Download for iOS Download for Android
