INGREDIENTS
4 oz Shrimp
3 oz Scallops
1/4 cup Arborio Rice (dry)
1 pinch Saffron Threads
1/2 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup diced Zucchini
1/4 cup sliced Red Onion
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
PREPARATION
Rinse the Arborio rice and set aside. In a small saucepan, combine the rice, low-sodium chicken broth, saffron threads, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook on low heat until the rice is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed, about 15-20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the chopped red bell pepper, diced zucchini, and sliced red onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes or until they are tender and slightly charred.
While the vegetables roast and the rice cooks, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and briefly sauté until fragrant. Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet, cooking each side for about 2-3 minutes until they turn opaque and are just cooked through.
Once all components are ready, plate a serving of saffron rice, top with the roasted vegetables, and arrange the seafood over the top. Garnish with a light sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.
