The parsley, basil and wine was added by me. Normally Nigeria's don't add them. But believe me seafood is best with them if you are preparing the jellof rice with seafood. You can try it and let me know what you think about them. xxx

*Storage*

   For me i don't like to store seafood meal. I always prepare the one that can be consumed the same day. 

Enjoy*❤❤❤
