INGREDIENTS
4 oz Raw Shrimp (~113g)
3 oz Fresh Mussels (~85g)
1/2 cup Cooked Brown Rice (~100g)
1/2 Red Bell Pepper (~75g)
1/2 medium Zucchini (~100g)
1/4 cup Chopped Yellow Onion (~40g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
Pinch of Saffron Threads
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the shrimp and mussels under cool water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, lightly crush the garlic clove and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chopped yellow onion and garlic, sautéing until they become soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Toss in the red bell pepper and zucchini slices; stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until they start to soften but still retain a slight crunch.
Sprinkle in the saffron threads and stir to release their color and aroma.
Add the shrimp and mussels to the skillet, cooking them until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the mussels have opened, approximately 4-5 minutes. Discard any mussels that do not open.
Gently fold in the pre-cooked brown rice, stirring to combine all ingredients evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Allow the mixture to warm through for another minute, ensuring the rice picks up the saffron and vegetable flavors.
Serve hot, and enjoy the delightful combination of crisp vegetables, tender seafood, and aromatic saffron rice.
