INGREDIENTS
4 oz Shrimp
3 oz Scallops
1/2 cup cooked White Rice
1/2 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
Pinch Saffron Threads
1 small Onion
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
PREPARATION
Rinse the saffron threads in a tablespoon of warm water and set aside to bloom.
In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped small onion and sauté until translucent.
Stir in the diced red bell pepper and continue to cook for 2 minutes until slightly tender.
Add the half cup of low-sodium chicken broth, bloomed saffron along with its soaking water, and half cup of cooked white rice into the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer to combine the flavors.
Gently fold in the shrimp and scallops, then cover and let simmer for about 3-4 minutes until the seafood is heated through and just cooked.
In the last minute of cooking, add the fresh spinach and stir until it wilts slightly.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve the seafood saffron rice immediately, enjoying the vibrant colors and aromatic flavors.
