Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large pot.

Add garlic and onion; sauté for about 2 minutes.

Add bell peppers and sauté for another 2 minutes.

Add Creole seasoning, OB seasoning, crab boil seasoning, turmeric, and black pepper; mix well.

Wash the rice before adding it to the pot; stir to coat the rice with the seasonings.

Pour in 1 cup of beef stock and 1 cup of water; do not add salt yet due to the salt in the beef stock.

Allow the mixture to boil for about 5 minutes.

Add a sprig of thyme and optionally a bay leaf; taste to check seasoning and adjust if necessary.

When the rice is almost cooked (about 3-5 minutes left), add the seafood mix (jumbo shrimp, mussels, scallops, and calamari) to the pot.

Garnish and serve.
