Coconut Seafood Chop Suey, With Italian Herb White Rice!!!

So I didn't get the chance to do this last night as after I ate this I fell into a food coma!  For those of you that love Seafood, this is one for the books!  OK so here is all that you will need for this one!

Seafood:
Make sure you clean all of the following really well!!!

Squid
Shrimp
Clams
Crab
Muscles
Scallops

Long Grain White Rice

Seasonings:
Add to taste for all that are listed!

Salt
Butter
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)

Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Black Pepper
Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime
Crushed Red Peppers
Italian Herb Mix
Coconut Cream
Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 Large Can La Choy Chop Suey Vegetables
1 can Bamboo Shoots

OK, so I would start with your rice as it takes the longest to cook.  Start with preheating a large skillet with EVOO in the pan.  Add your plain white rice to the preheated Skillet.  You want a light golden color over the rice!  As for the amount of rice you want to use one part Rice and 2 and 1/4 parts water or broth.  In this recipe we will stay with water.  Now that the water is added you can add your Salt, Garlic and Onion Powders and Italian Herb Blend to the rice now and bring it all to a boil.  Then cover and reduce heat to low for about 25 minutes.  Whatever you do, DO NOT UNCOVER THE RICE PERIOD!  After 25 Minutes fluff with a fork and taste to make sure it is well cooked.

Now for the seafood.  You will want to start with another skillet.  Preheat this skillet with EVOO and Butter together!  Once it is nice and hot add your Seafood Mix to the pan and when you add your mix to the skillet, this is when you want to season it with the Mrs. Dash fiesta lime, salt, black pepper, and crushed red peppers.  Continue to cook and stir your seafood mix occasionally till a light golden color.  At this point you can now add your Chop Suey Vegetables and Bamboo Shoots.  Cook till all tender to taste.  Now you can add the coconut cream, and sweetened condensed milk.  This is all to your taste there is no exact amount to this.  Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes till sauce reduces slightly!  Add more Crushed Red Pepper if you want it just a bit spicier or a lot spicier!  Serve over a bed of the Rice we just made together and enjoy!  As always.........
