Mushroom & Seafood Rice

I love my new Le Creuset cast iron pot. The chiffon pink colour attracts me to my kitchen. I bought this pot during the spring offer from Taka early this year. This is one of my most expensive pot in my kitchen but I didn’t regret it. It makes cooking easy and enjoying. Tonight, I am using it to prepare this Mushroom seafood one pot rice. The seafood gave sweetness to every grain of the rice. I regretted for cooking too little rice as my hubby asked for 2^nd serving. Lets talk no more,  start cooking!
