INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Shrimp Fillets
3 ounces Sea Scallops
1/4 cup dry Brown Rice
1 cup Mixed Vegetables
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
A pinch of Saffron Threads
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the shrimp and scallops and pat them dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, steep a pinch of saffron threads in the low-sodium chicken broth to release its flavor and vibrant color.
Heat a large, deep pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the mixed vegetables until they start to soften and gain some crispness, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the dry brown rice to the pan and lightly toast for 1 minute, stirring continuously.
Pour in the saffron-infused chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pan and let the rice cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
Gently nestle the shrimp and scallops into the rice and vegetable mixture. Cover the pan again and allow the seafood to steam and cook through for an additional 5-7 minutes.
Once the seafood is opaque and the rice is fully cooked, adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot, enjoying the combination of saffron’s aroma, tender seafood, flavorful rice, and crispy vegetables.
