Fresh Seafood Saffron Rice with Hearty Vegetables
Delight in a vibrant plate of succulent shrimp nestled atop fragrant saffron rice, accompanied by a colorful medley of hearty vegetables. The aromatic saffron infuses each grain of rice with a golden hue, while a light drizzle of olive oil brings everything together in a satisfying, balanced dish that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Shrimp
1 cup Saffron Infused White Rice
1/2 cup Mixed Vegetables
1 pinch Saffron Threads
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry. If not already cooked, lightly season with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, steep the saffron threads in 2 tablespoons of warm water to release their color and flavor.
Cook the white rice according to package instructions. Once nearly done, stir in the saffron water to infuse the rice with its vibrant hue.
In a nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the mixed vegetables and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
If using raw shrimp, add them to the skillet with the vegetables and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. (If shrimp are pre-cooked, just warm them up gently with the vegetables.)
Plate a serving of saffron rice and top with the shrimp and vegetables. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, nutritious meal.
