Seafood Rice and Toppings

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood Rice

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, and red bell pepper. Sauté until softened.

  2. 2

    Add the rice and stir for 1-2 minutes until slightly toasted. Pour in water and season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

  4. 4

    Add Seafood

    Once the rice is cooked, gently stir in shrimp, calamari, lobster, mussels, and clams. Cover and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until seafood is heated through.

  5. 5

    Fry the Fish

    While the seafood rice is cooking, prepare the fish. Dredge the fish fillet in all-purpose flour, seasoned with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    In a separate pan, heat oil over medium-high. Fry the fish fillet until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Spoon the seafood rice onto plates, top with the fried fish fillet, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
