INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Shrimp
3 ounces Scallops
1/2 cup cooked White Rice
1/2 cup chopped Broccoli
1/4 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper
1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil
Pinch of Saffron
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the seafood and pat dry with paper towels, then season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small pot, bring water to a simmer. Add the saffron and a pinch of salt. Mix in the 1/2 cup of cooked white rice to warm and infuse with saffron flavor, stirring gently for 2 minutes.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once shimmering, add the shrimp and scallops.
Sear the seafood for about 2-3 minutes per side until just opaque and slightly golden, taking care not to overcook.
In a separate pot or steamer, lightly steam the broccoli and red bell pepper for 2-3 minutes to retain their crispness.
Plate the saffron rice as a base, then arrange the seared seafood on top. Add the steamed vegetables to the side.
Finish with a light drizzle of any remaining olive oil from the pan and a final sprinkle of salt and pepper if needed.
