INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Shrimp
3 ounces Scallops
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1/2 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup diced Yellow Onion
1 Garlic Clove, minced
1 pinch Saffron
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Rinse the seafood under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine a pinch of saffron with a tablespoon of warm water to release its color and aroma; set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the diced yellow onion and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing until they become fragrant and begin to soften, about 2 minutes.
Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes until both are opaque and just cooked through. Remove the seafood from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced red bell pepper. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until slightly tender.
Stir in the cooked brown rice and pour in the saffron infusion. Mix well to combine, allowing the rice to be evenly tinted by the saffron’s color and flavor.
Return the seafood to the skillet to gently warm through, tossing together with the sautéed vegetables and rice.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
