INGREDIENTS
5 oz Shrimp
3 oz Mussels
1 cup cooked Saffron Rice
1/2 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup fresh Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
Pinch of Saffron
1 Garlic clove
PREPARATION
Begin by rinsing the shrimp and mussels under cool water. Pat dry using paper towels.
In a small bowl, steep a pinch of saffron in 2 tablespoons of hot water to release its flavor and vibrant color.
Cook the white rice according to package instructions. Once nearly done, stir in the saffron infusion to allow the rice to absorb its color and aroma.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes until slightly softened.
Gently add the shrimp and mussels, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turns pink and the mussels open. Discard any mussels that do not open.
Fold in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt for about a minute.
Combine the seafood and vegetable mixture with the saffron rice, stirring gently to evenly distribute the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
