INGREDIENTS
4 oz Shrimp Fillets
3 oz Cod Fillet
1/2 cup Long Grain Rice (cooked)
1 cup Mixed Vegetables
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Pinch of Saffron Threads
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the shrimp and cod fillets, then pat them dry. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, steep a pinch of saffron threads in 1 tablespoon of warm water for about 5 minutes.
Heat half the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
Using the same skillet, add the cod fillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until it flakes easily. Transfer to a plate.
In a separate small saucepan, combine the cooked long grain rice with the saffron water and a crushed garlic clove. Stir and warm the rice gently over low heat to absorb the saffron flavor, about 3 minutes.
Steam or lightly sauté the mixed vegetables in a splash of water or the remaining olive oil until tender but still crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Plate the saffron rice alongside the vegetables and arrange the seafood on top. Drizzle a tiny bit of extra olive oil if desired, and serve immediately.
