1 cup converted long-grain white rice
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt
1/2 onion, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
2 large plum tomatoes, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
3/4 cup dry white wine

SUNNY'S EASY MUSSELS AND SHRIMP PAELLA POUCHES

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon hot Hungarian paprika
2 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp
Zest of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds frozen (cooked) mussels, in shells
2 pounds frozen (raw) deveined shrimp, in shells or not (your preference)
1/2 white onion, thinly sliced
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
Kosher salt
Two 8- to 10-ounce bags microwaveable Spanish rice
One 10-ounce bag frozen peas
4 lemon wedges
1/4 cup chopped fresh curly parsley

Steps:

  • For the seafood: Combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic, lemon zest, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a small bowl. Combine the frozen mussels and shrimp (still frozen) in a large bowl and drizzle the mixture over the top. Toss the seafood to evenly coat.
  • For the pouches: Lay four 16- to 20-inch-long pieces of nonstick aluminum foil out on a flat surface and top each one with a piece of parchment paper the same size. Divide the ingredients equally amongst each pouch, starting with the onions in the center of each in a 3-by-5-inch rectangle. Top the onions with the tomato halves, a pinch of salt, rice, peas, then seafood. To close, pull the long sides up over the mixture to meet and fold down together leaving some room for steam (about an inch above your pile), then close the short ends and fold upwards for easy opening.
  • Set the oven or grill to 375 degrees F.
  • Arrange the pouches on a baking sheet if using the oven, just in case you have a tiny spill. Bake or place the pouches over the indirect heat and cook for 25 minutes. Remove one and open gently; if the mussels are not open and the shrimp are still a bit underdone, close and continue to cook for 5 more minutes. Remove the pouches, and, when cool enough to handle, open and spritz with lemon and garnish with parsley.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh seafood, aromatic vegetables, and flavorful seasonings are essential for creating a delicious black rice dish. Choose the best quality ingredients you can find to ensure your dish is packed with flavor.
  • Rinse the black rice thoroughly: Before cooking, rinse the black rice several times under cold water to remove any impurities or excess starch. This will help prevent the rice from becoming sticky or gummy.
  • Cook the black rice according to package instructions: Different brands of black rice may have slightly different cooking instructions, so be sure to follow the instructions on the package. Generally, black rice takes longer to cook than white rice, so allow for extra cooking time.
  • Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid you use for the black rice will greatly impact its flavor. For a richer taste, use a combination of water and seafood stock or broth. You can also add herbs, spices, or aromatics to the cooking liquid for extra flavor.
  • Don't overcook the seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so it's important to avoid overcooking it. Overcooked seafood can become tough and rubbery. Cook the seafood just until it is opaque and cooked through, then remove it from the heat.
  • Serve the black rice immediately: Black rice is best served immediately after cooking. It can be reheated, but the texture may not be as good as when it is freshly cooked.

Conclusion:

Black rice with mussels and shrimp is a delicious and nutritious seafood dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its earthy flavor and vibrant color, black rice is a unique and flavorful alternative to white rice. Pair it with succulent mussels and shrimp, and you have a dish that is sure to impress. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, this recipe is easy to follow and will yield delicious results.
