2 teaspoons sea salt, divided
5 ⅓ cups water, divided
extra virgin olive oil, to taste
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
½ large yellow onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, minced

8 oz frozen calamari, 1 package, defrosted
1 lb medium shrimp, shell on, approx 35
½ lb fresh mussel, shell on
1 cup frozen organic peas, defrosted

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, plus whole parsley leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • In an medium pot over high heat, combine the rice, bay leaves, 2 tablespoons of butter, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 4⅓ cups (1 L) of water. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and fluffy.

  • Add the calamari, shrimp, mussels, and peas. Stir and cover with the lid. Cook until the mussel shells open, 5-6 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat. Add the lemon juice, remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and chopped parsley then stir.
  • Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl.
  • Use a slotted spoon to scoop the seafood mixture over the rice. Stir to combine, add ½ cup (120 ml) of the seafood braising liquid, and stir once more.
  • Garnish with parsley leaves (optional).
  • Enjoy!
