- Measure the olive oil for the vegetables and the rice; each tablespoon adds about 120 kcal, and the saffron and seafood carry the flavour.
- Add more shrimp, mussels and vegetables to the pan and less rice per serving, so the plate stays generous.
- Serve it with a simple green salad and lemon rather than bread or aioli on the side.
