Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. In an oven-safe skillet, cook 4 slices chopped bacon over medium until crisp, about 6 minutes. Remove bacon, leaving 2 tbsp drippings.

  2. Step 2

    Add 1 chopped onion to the skillet and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Stir in 1 cup rice and 2 cups water, scraping up browned bits. Bring to a simmer.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, 0.5 pound peeled shrimp, and the cooked bacon. Nestle 1 pound clams and mussels into the rice.

  4. Step 4

    Cover the skillet and bake until rice is tender and shellfish have opened, about 15 minutes. Discard any unopened shells before serving.

  5. Step 5

    Let stand 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and serve hot.
