Arroz de Marisco

This is the kind of Portuguese dinner you’ll make on repeat — mixed seafood and arborio rice, 60 minutes, big payoff. Each serving lands at 212 calories with 4g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. No specialty equipment and nothing hard to find at a regular grocery store.

Ingredients

• 2 lb Mixed seafood
• 2 cups Arborio rice
• 1 Onion
• 3 Tomatoes
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1/4 cup Olive oil
• 6 cups Fish stock
• 1/4 cup Cilantro

Steps

1. Simmer the shrimp shells and fish trimmings 20 minutes into a quick stock; strain and keep hot.
2. Soften the onion, garlic, and chopped tomatoes in olive oil until they melt into a sauce.
3. Add the rice and toast 2 minutes until the grains turn translucent at the edges.
4. Pour in the hot stock and simmer 12 minutes, stirring occasionally; the rice should be loose and brothy.
5. Nestle in the seafood and cook 5 minutes more until just opaque — overcooked shellfish turns rubbery.
6. Rest 5 minutes and shower with cilantro; serve in deep bowls with lemon.
