INGREDIENTS
6 oz Shrimp
1/2 cup Brown Rice (cooked)
1/2 tsp Saffron Threads
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper (diced)
1/4 cup Green Peas
1/4 medium Red Onion (diced)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the shrimp and pat dry. If using raw shrimp, peel and devein and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent.
Stir in the red bell pepper and green peas, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the cooked brown rice to the pan along with the saffron threads. Mix thoroughly so that the rice takes on a beautiful golden hue from the saffron.
Place the shrimp on top of the rice mixture, season with salt and pepper, and let cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 4-5 minutes. For extra crispiness, allow the rice at the bottom to slightly toast.
Finish by sprinkling lemon zest over the dish. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve immediately, enjoying the balance of fresh vegetables, aromatic saffron rice, and succulent seafood.
