Step 1
Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add garlic and minced chili; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 2
Stir in rice and toast 2 minutes, then pour in white wine and 3 cups seafood or chicken broth.
Step 3
Crumble saffron over the surface. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook 10 minutes undisturbed.
Step 4
Nestle shrimp, mussels, and squid into the rice without stirring. Recover and cook until shrimp are pink and mussels open, ~5 minutes.
Step 5
Discard any unopened mussels. Squeeze fresh lemon over the top, scatter parsley if you have it, and serve straight from the pan.
