Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 200 grams scallops
- 150 grams crab meat
- 2 cups white rice
- 3 cups water
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons pepper
Instructions
Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rice with 3 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15-18 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the shrimp, scallops, and crab meat with salt and pepper.
Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for 2 minutes on each side until golden and just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Stir in the minced garlic and red chili flakes, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Sprinkle in the paprika and cayenne pepper, and stir well to combine.
Add the soy sauce, honey, and lemon juice to the skillet, mixing to form a spicy-sweet sauce. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Return the cooked shrimp, scallops, and crab meat to the skillet, tossing to coat them in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and divide it evenly among serving plates.
Spoon the spicy seafood mixture over the rice, ensuring to drizzle the extra sauce over the top for maximum flavor.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
