Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
60g sliced chorizo
2 tsp peppery spice mix, such as cajun seasoning
1 small onion, finely sliced
300g frozen fruits de mer
A handful of frozen grilled mixed peppers
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
200g basmati rice
A few fresh coriander leaves
Lime wedges

Method

Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and fry the chorizo until crisp. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the spice mix, cook for 1 minute, stirring, then add the onion. Cook for 5 minutes over a low heat until softened. Turn up the heat and add the frozen fruits de mer and fry for 5 minutes before stirring through a handful of frozen grilled mixed peppers and chilli. Cook for 3 minutes more, until the seafood is cooked through.
Meanwhile, cook the basmati rice according to packet instructions, then add to the frying pan along with the crisp chorizo. Stir to combine and check the seasoning. Garnish with a few fresh coriander leaves and serve with lime wedges, to squeeze over.
