INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Shrimp (raw)
3 ounces Sea Scallops (raw)
1/2 cup cooked Basmati Rice
1/4 teaspoon Saffron Threads
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 small Zucchini
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Rinse the shrimp and scallops, then pat dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, combine the saffron threads with a couple of tablespoons of hot water to release their flavor and color, letting it steep for about 10 minutes.
Cook the basmati rice according to package directions. Once cooked, stir in the saffron water to infuse the rice with its vibrant aroma.
While the rice is cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil.
Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a light golden crust and are cooked through.
In a separate pan, lightly sauté the chopped red bell pepper and zucchini until just tender, about 2-3 minutes, preserving their crispness.
Plate the saffron rice as a base, then arrange the seared seafood on top, and finally add the sautéed vegetables on the side.
Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful blend of aromatic rice, tender seafood, and crisp vegetables.
