Total Time:  1 Hour
Yield:  4 servings, 1 1/2 cups saute & 1 cup rice each

Golden saffron and a bounty of herbs and summer vegetables make this a beautiful and fresh-tasting dish. Don't overseason; let the flavors sing.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 cups water

1 teaspoon salt, divided

1/4-1/2 teaspoon saffron threads (see Ingredient Note)

1 cup long-grain brown rice

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

3 medium yellow summer squash, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

1 pound raw shrimp (21-25 per pound), peeled and deveined

1/3 cup tightly packed fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

2 tablespoons lemon juice

Freshly ground pepper to taste

Ingredient Note: Saffron, the world's most expensive spice, is the dried stigma of a crocus and contributes a pungent flavor and intense yellow color to food. It is sold in threads and powdered form.

DIRECTIONS

Bring water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and saffron to taste to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add rice, return to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

About 10 minutes before the rice is done, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add squash and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender (do not brown), 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in shrimp and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Stir in mint and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in lemon juice; remove from heat. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Serve over the rice.
