Golden Saffron Seafood Paella with Chorizo
Saffron-infused rice simmered with smoky chorizo and succulent seafood, creating a vibrant and aromatic one-pan masterpiece.
INGREDIENTS
0.25 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 oz Spanish chorizo
4 oz large shrimp
3 oz mussels
0.13 cup arborio rice
0.5 cup chicken bone broth
0.25 cup red bell pepper
0.25 cup onion
1 clove garlic
0.25 cup crushed tomatoes
1 pinch saffron threads
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.13 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 wedge lemon
PREPARATION
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a paella pan or wide skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced Spanish chorizo and sauté until the edges are crisp and the oils are rendered.
Stir in the diced onion and red bell pepper, cooking until the vegetables are softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and saffron threads, stirring for 30 seconds until highly fragrant.
Add the dry arborio rice to the pan, stirring for one minute to coat the grains in the flavorful oils.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken bone broth, then season with sea salt and black pepper.
Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook undisturbed for 10-12 minutes.
Arrange the shrimp and scrubbed mussels on top of the rice, pressing them down slightly into the liquid.
Cover the pan and cook for an additional 5-8 minutes until the shrimp are pink and the mussels have fully opened.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with a fresh lemon wedge.
