INGREDIENTS
6 oz Shrimp
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Mixed Tender Vegetables
1 tsp Olive Oil
Pinch of Saffron Threads
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Thyme)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, steep a pinch of saffron threads in 2 tablespoons of warm water to release its color and flavor.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are just cooked through.
Pour in the saffron infusion over the shrimp and toss to coat evenly.
In a separate pot, gently reheat the pre-cooked brown rice with the fresh herbs and lemon juice. Stir to combine and warm through.
Steam or lightly sauté the mixed vegetables until tender but still crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
Assemble the dish by placing the herbed rice on a plate, topping with the saffron seafood, and arranging the tender vegetables on the side.
Finish with a light drizzle of any remaining saffron-infused oil from the skillet and serve immediately.
