cover and cook for 10 minutes

Notes
If necessary, you can substitute
another type of rice in place of the long-grain
. You may just need to adjust the cook time and liquid to rice ratio.
If you’re not using homemade or low sodium chicken broth, you may wish to
reduce the amount of salt
you add to the rice.
If you like your
seafood rice spicier,
add a little extra cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
You can use
any kind of mix of frozen seafood
you prefer. If you’d like to use fresh or a single variety of seafood, you can do that too.
For the smoked sausage, you can use any kind you like.
Chorizo or andouille sausage
will also work.
In place of the dry white wine
, you can just use more broth.
You can substitute the green pepper for
red, yellow or orange pepper.
It will just add a sweeter taste to the rice.
