Enjoy a vibrant skillet bursting with succulent shrimp and scallops, tossed with fragrant saffron, aromatic garlic and onions, and a hearty serving of nutty brown rice. This one-pan wonder is designed to please the palate while providing balanced macros and a satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Shrimp
3 oz Scallops
0.33 cup Dry Brown Rice (~50g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
0.25 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
0.25 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
0.5 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1/8 tsp Saffron Threads
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Rinse the brown rice thoroughly and set aside. In a small bowl, steep saffron threads in a couple of tablespoons of warm chicken broth to release its color and aroma.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they become translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the diced red bell pepper, and cook for another 2 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the brown rice and the remaining chicken broth along with the saffron infusion. Bring to a simmer and let the rice begin to cook, stirring occasionally.
Once the rice has absorbed some of the liquid (about 5 minutes), gently nestle the shrimp and scallops into the skillet. Cover and let simmer until the seafood is just cooked through and the rice is tender, about 7-10 minutes.
Check seasoning and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Serve hot, ensuring a balanced scoop of rice and seafood on each plate.
