Golden Saffron Seafood Paella with Chorizo
Saffron-infused rice simmered with smoky chorizo and succulent shrimp, creating a vibrant pan of bold Mediterranean flavors that are deeply aromatic.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz shrimp
0.5 oz Spanish chorizo
0.25 cup Bomba rice
0.75 cup seafood broth
0.25 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup red bell pepper
0.25 cup yellow onion
1 clove garlic
1 pinch saffron threads
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 cup frozen peas
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 wedge lemon
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Heat olive oil in a small paella pan or heavy skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced chorizo and cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges are crisp and the smoky oils are released.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the pan, sautéing until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and dry rice, toasting the grains for one minute to absorb the flavors.
Pour in the seafood broth and add the saffron threads; season with sea salt and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook without stirring for 8 minutes.
Arrange the shrimp and frozen peas on top of the rice, cover the pan, and cook for another 5 minutes until the shrimp are pink and the liquid is fully absorbed.
Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley and serving with a lemon wedge.
