Instructions
Prepare Bahama Breeze Saffron-Shrimp Stock according to recipe below.
Season chicken and seafood with salt and pepper.
Add oil to a large heavy skillet. Place over medium high heat and cook until oil is hot and shimmering.
Add seasoned chicken, onions, bell peppers and garlic. Sear until the chicken is lightly browned.
Add scallops, shrimp and chorizo. Sear until the seafood loses its raw appearance.
Add mussels, fresh fish and prepared saffron–shrimp stock. Bring stock to a simmer.
Add rice, green peas and tomatoes. Using a cook’s spoon, stir rice gently to mix evenly with the rest of the ingredients.
Reduce heat to a simmer and cover with a lid. Let simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked. While the rice is cooking remove the lid to stir the ingredients from time to time to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
