Ingredients

• 2 cups basmati rice
• 4 cups water
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 12 pieces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 8 pieces sea scallops
• 1 cup calamari rings
• 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 cups gluten-free fish stock
• 1 cup white wine
• 1 teaspoon saffron threads
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 whole lemon, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a large pot, bring the 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked through. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing until the onions become translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the shrimp, sea scallops, and calamari rings to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the seafood starts to become opaque.

Step 6

Pour in the fish stock and white wine, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 7

Add the saffron threads, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients and simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and gently stir in the cooked rice until all ingredients are well combined and the rice has absorbed the stock.

Step 9

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.

Step 10

Cover the skillet and let the seafood rice rest for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Step 11

Serve the seafood rice hot, garnished with lemon wedges on the side.
