Directions

Bring water, ½ teaspoon salt and saffron to taste to a boil in a medium saucepan.

Add rice, return to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.

Cook until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, 40 to 45 minutes.

Fluff with a fork.

About 10 minutes before the rice is done, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add squash and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender (do not brown), 5 to 7 minutes.

Stir in shrimp and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.

Stir in mint and cook for 30 seconds.

Stir in lemon juice; remove from heat.

Season with the remaining ½ teaspoon salt and pepper.

Serve over the rice.
