quarter turn halfway through cooking. Remove the dish from microwave; stir
in peas. Arrange mussels and shrimp alternately around the edge of dish,
sticking mussels upright into the rice mixture and shrimp head down and
tail toward center (they do not need to be completely covered with liquid).
Arrange fish pieces in an even layer in center, on top of the rice mixture.

wide shallow bowls and sprinkle with reserved green onions over each
serving. Makes 4 servings. Note: Clams, Scallops and Grouper may be
substituted.
