This paleo seafood gumbo is to die for! Try the recipe to increase your body’s intake of cancer-preventing ingredients such as lycopene in the diced tomatoes and glucosinolates in cauliflower. This perfectly balanced meal is gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo, pegan, added sugar free and amazing!
The recipe inspiration came from my roommate, Rebecca and her boyfriend, Brandon. If you’re wondering if it’s common for me to be third wheeling it with my roommate and her boyfriend, the answer is yes (they adopted me a few months ago)! Typically Brandon and I do the cooking and Rebecca does the instructing/bossing. It’s just a fun little three’s company!
Rebecca recently transitioned from her lifelong vegetarian life to a pescatarian/pegan lifestyle. As a result, we have been exploring new fish recipes to open up her pescatarian world! We threw the dish together on a Sunday afternoon and it was super quick and easy. Patients often tell me that they don’t cook fish because they don’t know how. The nice thing about this recipe is that you don’t have to know any fancy techniques–just throw everything into a pot! It doesn’t get any easier than that!
