Arroz de Marisco

Arroz de marisco combines rice with shellfish such as prawns, clams and mussels. Onion and garlic are softened in olive oil, then tomato and stock provide the liquid in which the rice cooks. White wine and chilli may be added. Carolino rice is used in the recipes, and the finished dish retains its cooking broth.^[1][2]

One preparation makes stock from prawn shells and vegetables, straining it before adding it to the rice. Cooked shellfish are folded in near the end, with some whole prawns and shell-on clams and mussels kept for serving. The seafood selection and herbs vary: crab claws appear in another version, which uses coriander, while the prawn-stock preparation finishes with parsley.^[1][2]
