- 1 squeeze Lemon (for brightness)

Instructions
- Begin by placing a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add two tablespoons of olive oil and let it heat for about 1-2 minutes until it shimmers slightly.
- Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and 1 chopped onion to the skillet, sautéing for about 10 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of turmeric and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, stirring well, and allow the spices to cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Introduce 1 cup of long-grain rice to the skillet, stirring to coat with the spices and toast for about 3 minutes.
- Pour 2 cups of fish broth into the skillet and gently mix in 2 cups of frozen seafood mix and 1 cup of frozen peas, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Once the broth is absorbed and the rice is tender (about 15 minutes), fold in 1 cup of roasted diced bell peppers.
- Finish by garnishing with fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley, then serve warm and enjoy!
