Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add shrimp and sear 60 seconds per side until just opaque on edges. Transfer to a plate.
Step 2
Pour broth into the same skillet. Stir in saffron and rice, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a boil.
Step 3
Reduce heat to low. Scatter mussels over the rice. Cover and simmer until rice is tender and mussels open, about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Return shrimp to the pan and toss gently to combine. Discard any mussels that didn't open.
Step 5
Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, spooning rice and seafood onto plates with all the pan juices.
