There are a thousand possibilities. Here are one or two.
You start with a meat. It can be cheap. You can use say, chicken necks, even, or chicken backs, or chicken livers and or gizzards!
You can use lamb stew meat, which are usually lamb neck chops, but watch out for bones in the finished dish.
You can use pork cheap cuts... Pigs' feet, pied du cochon, stuff like that. Beef and or pork ribs would also be great.
Anyway, to continue. Brown and mostly fully cook, roasting rather hot, whatever meat you get, with diced onions, in a large oven proof skillet. Remove meat briefly. Scrape and deglaze the skillet, say with dry Marsala or dry white wine.
Then throw in some Italian arborio rice and water. Add say pepperoncinis or sweet cherry peppers or just mexican hot sauce to taste.
At this point you can add seafood of your choice. You could even throw in a fish head! I like shrimp, scallops, something like that, you can even used something canned, but you can go to a fishmonger and get some raw pieces they have cut away from filets and use those carcass pieces...Mussels are traditional. Clams work but are tough. Once again, avoid the bones in the finished dish.
Add back in the lightly browned meat.
Return to oven to bake until rice is done. Raw fish will cook with the rice.
