Seafood Baked Rice

It was weekend again! Last weekend, I thought of making something special, baked rice with seafood could be a great choice and it is pretty simple too.

Grabbed a packet of dory fillet in Jusco, a packet of crab sticks, a packet of fresh sweet basil leaves & some fresh big prawns... hoala...what a good combination. It is very simple to do, just marinate all the ingredients, cook a pot of butter flavoured rice, bake it and there you go! A fresh basil fragrant seafood baked rice! Make my weekend wokking much more simpler!

And.... the result is "superb"! My hubby and my little prince loved it to bits. This also make my dish cleaning easier because of the alluminium foil baking dish. haha... Hope all of you will like it!
