Seafood Jambalaya

Jambalaya is a great meal and naturally paleo (without the rice). In this picture above, I used "riced" broccoli, but you can use riced cauliflower, or no rice at all.  It's funny, because my husband said, "well, shouldn't it have something with it, like rice or something," and I was like, "think out of the box! Not everything has to have a grain as a side with it!"  So to please him, I made the "riced broccoli", otherwise I might have just eaten it plain.  It has tons of veggies already.

Ingredients:
1 lb Alaskan cod fillets (cut into bite sized pieces)
1 lb shrimp (shells removed)
2 cups chicken broth
2 red bell peppers
4 carrots, julienned
1 leek, diced
a pinch of sea salt
1 TBS chili powder (I used New Mexico red chili - but any is fine)
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1-2 TBS of butter
Hot sauce to taste (I happened to have two hot sauces from a recent trip to New Orleans - a chocolatey flavor one, and a more traditional red hot sauce). 

1. Melt the butter in a large soup pot and saute carrots for about 4 minutes.
2. Add the bell peppers, leek, and garlic and saute for another 4 minutes or so.
3. Add all the spices and the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
4. Throw in the fish and shrimp and simmer until the fish is cooked and begins to flake.
5. Add the hot sauce of your choice and to your taste.
6. Serve in bowls just as is or on top of cauliflower or broccoli rice.
