Low Country Shellfish Purloo Total Time: 35 minutes Serves: 4
    2 cups  Carolina Gold or other long-grain white rice
    ½ cup  diced country ham
    2 tablespoons  olive oil
    1 small  onion, diced
    2 cloves  garlic, thinly sliced
    1 tablespoon  tomato paste
    ½ teaspoon  red pepper flakes
    ¼ cup  diced jarred piquillo or other sweet peppers
    3 cups  clam juice or fish stock
    2 sprigs  thyme
8 little neck clams, scrubbed
    16  shrimps, peeled and deveined
    8  oysters, shucked
    3 tablespoons  chopped parsley
    ½ tablespoon  butter
    ½ pound  picked crab meat
Flaky sea salt
    ½  lemon

1. Rinse rice in a sieve until water runs clear. Transfer rice to a small bowl and cover with cold water.

2. Heat oil in a lidded medium pot over medium heat. Sauté ham until browned, about 2 minutes. Stir in onions and garlic, and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add tomato paste, and cook until darkened, about 2 minutes.

3. Stir in pepper flakes, piquillo peppers, clam juice and thyme. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Stir in rice and return to a simmer. Cook, covered, until rice is just al dente, about 7 minutes.

4. Nestle clams into rice and steam, covered, until shells begin to pop open, about 5 minutes. Scatter shrimp and oysters over rice and cook, covered, until rice is tender and shrimp just curls, 3 minutes more. Remove lid and gently stir in half the parsley.

5. Meanwhile, melt butter in a small sauté pan over medium heat. Add crab and gently sauté until heated through, 2 minutes.

6. To serve, transfer rice and seafood to a platter and spoon crab meat over top. Season with remaining parsley, sea salt and a squeeze of lemon juice.
