(I found Kinders wood smoked garlic and combined some of it with chili powder and cumin). Add 3T garlic confit and some of the oil to a medium skillet, bring to a sizzle. Add in shrimp and cook till slightly pink. Remove from heat and let cool to touch. Cut into bite size pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Add all proteins to the tomato\/rice mixture and stir to coat. If mixture is a bit thick, add stock, V8 or water to thin down. You want this to be slightly thickened, however not too watery.

If you don\u2019t have a small dish or ramekin, place garlic head in tinfoil, drizzle with olive oil, salt\/pepper and wrap tightly. Place in oven proof dish to catch drippings. Once roasted and soft, squeeze bulbs from the head and save all the tasty oil.
