Golden Saffron Seafood Paella with Chorizo
Simmered saffron-infused rice topped with succulent shrimp, mussels, and smoky chorizo in a single pan for a vibrant and aromatic Mediterranean feast.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz shrimp
3 oz mussels
0.5 oz Spanish chorizo
0.25 cup Bomba rice
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup yellow onion
0.25 cup red bell pepper
1 clove garlic
0.25 cup tomato puree
0.75 cup chicken bone broth
0.13 tsp saffron threads
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.13 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp green peas
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 wedge lemon
PREPARATION
Heat olive oil in a wide skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced chorizo until it releases its smoky oils.
Add the onion and bell pepper to the pan, cooking until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the garlic, smoked paprika, and tomato puree, followed by the dry rice to toast the grains slightly.
Dissolve saffron in the broth and pour it into the skillet, seasoning with sea salt and black pepper.
Simmer the mixture on low heat without stirring for 12 minutes to allow the rice to absorb the liquid.
Press the shrimp and mussels into the rice, then cover the pan and steam for 5-7 minutes until the shells open.
Sprinkle with green peas and fresh parsley before serving with a bright lemon wedge.
