Keto Paella de Marisco (con Coliflor)
Keto Seafood Paella (with Cauliflower Rice)
Yes, with a tweak: request that cauliflower rice be used instead of traditional rice. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Spanish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto-adapted version of the iconic Spanish seafood paella, creatively substituting traditional rice with finely riced cauliflower. It retains the authentic flavors of a rich seafood broth, saffron, and a generous assortment of fresh, plump seafood, all cooked in a classic paella pan.
Key ingredients
Cauliflower 'rice', assorted seafood (shrimp, mussels, clams, squid, firm white fish), extra virgin olive oil, garlic, onion, red bell pepper, saffron threads, paprika, rich seafood broth, lemon wedges, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request that cauliflower rice be used instead of traditional rice. Confirm no starchy thickeners are added to the broth and no added sugar in the sofrito (tomato base, if used). This is a significant modification and requires specific communication with the kitchen.
Watch out for
The primary risk is the restaurant using actual rice. Hidden sugars in tomato sauce or broth. This dish requires clear communication and a willingness from the kitchen to adapt.
