3 Bring the rice to the boil and then immediatel­y turn the heat down to the lowest setting. Leave to simmer very gently for 8 mins with the lid on.

4 Scatter the seafood over the top of the rice along with the peas (break them up so they are not in large, frozen lumps), pop the lid back on and cook for a further 4-6 mins, or until all the water has been absorbed.
