Bring rice to a boil in broth and cook for 20-25 minutes over low heat. Preheat convection oven to 200°C (approximately 375°F).

Grease a baking dish with butter and fill with 1/3 of the rice. Spread with about half of the sauce, top with half of the shrimp and another third of the rice. Repeat the process and finish with the rice. Drizzle with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with the saffron threads. Cover with small pieces of butter and bake until golden in a preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Serve hot.
