Golden Saffron Seafood Paella with Chorizo
Simmered saffron rice with succulent shrimp and spicy chicken chorizo, creating a vibrant and aromatic dish with a crispy socarrat base.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Shrimp
1.5 oz Chicken chorizo sausage
0.25 cup Bomba rice
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup Yellow onion
0.25 cup Red bell pepper
1 clove Garlic
0.75 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
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 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 chicken chorizo and brown for 2-3 minutes until the oils are released.
Stir in the diced yellow onion and red bell pepper, sautéing until softened and fragrant.
Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and dry Bomba rice, stirring to toast the grains for 1 minute.
Crumble the saffron threads into the chicken broth and pour the mixture into the pan.
Season with sea salt and black pepper, then bring the liquid to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer undisturbed for 12-15 minutes to allow the rice to absorb the broth.
Arrange the shrimp and frozen peas on top of the rice, pressing them in slightly.
Cover and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the shrimp are pink and the liquid is fully absorbed.
Increase the heat to medium-high for 1 minute to develop the crispy socarrat crust on the bottom, then garnish with parsley and lemon.
