Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the skillet by heating a large, deep skillet or paella pan over medium-high heat and drizzling in about two tablespoons of olive oil.
Sauté two tablespoons of minced garlic and one chopped onion in the hot oil for about 5-7 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Sprinkle in one teaspoon of turmeric and one teaspoon of smoked paprika, then add one cup of uncooked rice, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Combine by pouring in two cups of fish broth followed by your frozen seafood mix and a cup of frozen peas. Season with salt and pepper, then allow the mixture to simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
Serve the dish topped with roasted diced bell peppers, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and garnished with chopped parsley.
