Seafood Rice Skillet

SEAFOOD RICE SKILLET

Steps:

• Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add the olive oil, onion, and garlic to a large deep skillet. Sauté over medium heat until the onions are soft and transparent (about 5 minutes). Meanwhile, dice the red bell pepper. Add the diced bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes more.
• Add the uncooked rice, turmeric, smoked paprika, and cayenne to the skillet. Stir to combine. Pour in the chicken broth, stir briefly, then place a lid on the skillet.
• Turn the heat up to high and bring the broth to a boil. Once it reaches a full boil, turn the heat down to low and let simmer for 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, add the frozen seafood and frozen peas. Fold the seafood and peas into the skillet, then replace the lid. Let the seafood and peas cook over low heat until the shrimp turn pink (about 5-10 minutes). Stir once half way through to check the seafood buried in the rice for doneness.
• Once the seafood has finished cooking, top the skillet with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges. Squeeze the lemon juice over top of the seafood rice just before eating.

SHRIMP AND RICE SKILLET RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• On a cutting board, blot the shrimp dry with paper towels. Season the shrimp all over with ½ teaspoon of salt and the black pepper. Set aside.
• Add the olive oil to a medium pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the shallot and cook, stirring often, until starting to soften, 1 minute. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
• Add the rice and stir to combine. Add the wine wine and cook, stirring often, until the smell of alcohol has burned off, about 1 minute.
• Add the water and the remaining teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil. Place the lid on the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Remove the lid from the pot and stir in the shrimp. Place the lid on the pot and continue cooking until the rice is cooked through and the shrimp are bright pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
• Add the butter, lemon juice, and parsley, and stir to combine.
• Enjoy!
