It's a flavorful one-pot meal that is easy to prepare and packed with nutrients from a variety of seafood and vegetables. In this article, we will guide you through the process of preparing seafood rice in the comfort of your own kitchen.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound mixed seafood (shrimp, scallops, mussels, clams, crab)

• 1 onion, diced

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 red bell pepper, diced

• 1 green bell pepper, diced

• 1 cup long-grain white rice

• 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth

• 1 can diced tomatoes (14 oz)

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

• 1/2 teaspoon cumin

• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions:

1. Rinse the rice thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer and set it aside to drain.

2. In a large skillet or paella pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

3. Add diced bell peppers to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.

4. Add the mixed seafood to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and the mussels and clams have opened. Discard any mussels or clams that have not opened.

5. Add the smoked paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper to the skillet and stir well.

6. Add the rinsed rice to the skillet and stir until it is well coated with the spices and vegetables.

7. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and diced tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

8. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. Let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

9. Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

10. Serve the seafood rice hot with lemon wedges on the side.
