Notes: *The list of seafood is just to give you an idea of what to use. Pick and choose what you like or what is available.
• If the rice mixture is getting dry you can add water.
• Because the clam shells are thick you can steam them ahead until they are just getting ready to open.
• The shrimp can be tossed with 2 Tablespoons of olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove and 1/8 teaspoon saffron and marinated before they are added.
• To change the amount use ½ cup rice per serving. 1 cup of stock per each ½ cup rice ratio.
