Mixed Seafood with Crispy Saffron Rice
Enjoy a vibrant medley of tender shrimp and succulent mussels nestled atop a bed of crispy saffron-infused rice. This sophisticated dish marries the briny depth of the sea with the delicate aroma of saffron, accented by a hint of garlic and onion for added warmth and flavor.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Shrimp
4 ounces Mussels
1/2 cup cooked White Rice
1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/4 small Onion
A pinch of Saffron Threads
PREPARATION
Rinse the seafood under cold water and pat dry.
In a small bowl, steep the saffron threads in 2 tablespoons of warm water to release their color and aroma.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped garlic and finely diced onion until they become fragrant and translucent.
Add the shrimp and mussels to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and the mussels begin to open. Discard any mussels that remain closed.
Stir in the saffron water along with the cooked white rice, allowing the rice to crisp up slightly in the pan. Let it cook for another 2 minutes so the flavors meld.
Taste and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired, then plate your mixed seafood over the crispy saffron rice and serve immediately.
