This
is a much easier recipe to make than it might seem. It does have saffron, which
is an expensive ingredient, but you can use other spices instead and still end
up with a tasty dish.
Even
though red peppers are not really in season right now, organic onions and fresh
shrimp are on sale this week at the Market on Yates, (downtown Victoria, BC) so I planned my recipe
around these sales.
You can also use brown or wild rice instead of white, to make it healthier, although you will need more water and it might take a little longer to cook.
