Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large pot, heat 2 tbsp oil over medium. Add 1 sliced onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in 3 tbsp tomato paste and 1 cup rice, coating well. Add 2 cups water and bring to a boil.

  3. Step 3

    Season 1 lb fish fillets with salt and pepper. Nestle fish and 0.5 lb shrimp into the pot. Cover and simmer until rice is tender and fish flakes, about 15 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Gently fold in 0.5 cup frozen peas and cook 2 minutes until bright green. Serve hot, with mussels on top if you have them.
