In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add a pinch of salt and a splash of olive oil for flavor. Stir in the brown basmati rice and cook for about 20 minutes until tender. Then, mix in quinoa and basmati rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for an additional 20 minutes, or until the grains are fluffy and the liquid is absorbed.

While the grains are cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the finely chopped onion for about 5 minutes until it turns golden brown. Next, add the minced garlic and thinly sliced red bell pepper, cooking for another 3 minutes until the vegetables are softened and aromatic.

In the same skillet, add the cleaned and deveined shrimp, allowing them to cook for 1-2 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become rubbery. Once cooked, gently remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside while you prepare the spice mixture.

With the skillet still warm, add the curry powder, red pepper flakes, turmeric, ground cumin, and black pepper, stirring well to combine. Let the spices toast for about 1 minute to enhance their flavors. Return the shrimp to the skillet and fold in the chopped cilantro, dill, and green onions, mixing thoroughly to ensure the shrimp are well coated.

In a large pot, begin layering the Shrimp Rice with Herbs by adding half of the rice-quinoa mixture to the bottom. Spread the flavorful shrimp and vegetable mixture evenly over the top. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and add the dissolved saffron for stunning color and flavor. Finish with the remaining rice-quinoa blend as the final layer.

Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and steam the dish over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. The rice should be fluffy, and the wonderful aroma of herbs and spices will fill your kitchen.

Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to set the flavors. Fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains, and garnish with additional chopped herbs for a fresh presentation. Serve the Shrimp Rice with Herbs warm, and enjoy this vibrant dish that brings the essence of Persian cuisine to your table!
