01
Step 1
Start by bringing some water to a boil in a saucepan. Once it’s boiling, stir in the rice mix along with a tablespoon of olive oil. Let it boil for about a minute, then cover the pan and turn the heat down to low. Let it simmer until all the water is absorbed, which should take around 25 minutes.

Step 2
While the rice is cooking, heat the rest of the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped onion and sauté it just until it starts to soften, about two minutes. Then add the shrimp, green and red bell peppers, and sprinkle in the seafood seasoning. Cook everything together, stirring now and then, until the shrimp turn bright pink—this usually takes about five minutes.

Step 3
When everything is ready, spoon the rice onto your plates and pile the shrimp and pepper mixture on top. Finish with a good sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Enjoy!

How to serve
Serve alongside a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. A squeeze of lime or a sprinkle of chopped cilantro adds a bright, fresh touch that complements the flavors beautifully.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water to keep the rice moist. Avoid freezing, as shrimp can become rubbery after thawing.
