Recipe of Rice with squid and prawns

Vida Recetas Editorial

Rice with squid and prawns is a Mediterranean dish that combines the intense flavor of the sea with the creamy texture of rice. This easy recipe is perfect for a weekday lunch or to impress your guests without complications. The key is to sear the squid and prawns to enhance their flavor, and to use a good homemade broth so the rice turns out juicy and tasty.

In this preparation, the squid is cut into strips and seared along with the prawns, which are set aside to be added at the end. The base of onion and green pepper, with a touch of concentrated tomato, adds sweetness and color. The rice cooks slowly, absorbing the broth little by little, and is finished with the reserved seafood and a 10-minute rest under a cloth, allowing the flavors to settle and the rice to reach the perfect texture.

This dish is ideal for those looking for a versatile rice recipe: you can adapt it with other seafood or even chicken, and it will always be delicious. If you're wondering how to make perfect rice with squid and prawns, follow these steps and you'll get a restaurant-quality result at home.
