Ingredients
  

  • 9 ounces rice long grain
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 5-6 garlic cloves minced
  • 10-12 ounces mixed seafood frozen or fresh
  • Pepper to taste
  • Sea salt to taste
  • 1 cup dry white wine Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc
  • 1-1.5 cups lukewarm water
  • Optional 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 strand of parsley minced

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, cover rice with water and set aside while you do steps 2-4. Then wash and strain.
  • In a large pan, heat olive oil over low to medium temperature for 1-2 minutes. Add garlic and simmer until golden (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Add seafood and stir continuously for about 5-6 minutes.
  • Add spices and wine and bring temperature up to medium. Simmer and stir occasionally for 5 minutes.
  • Add rice and water.* Cover the pan halfway and simmer another 15-20 minutes (or until rice absorbs the liquid, but is not overly soft). (Optionally) Add butter and stir well.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

*The amount of water will vary based on rice. If the rice absorbs everything keep adding little bit more at a time. The rice should be soft, but not overly soft.
