Saffron Seafood Paella with Chorizo
Savory saffron-infused rice simmered with succulent shrimp, mussels, and smoky chorizo for a vibrant dish that captures the essence of coastal Spain.
INGREDIENTS
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 oz Spanish chorizo
5 oz large shrimp
4 whole mussels
0.25 cup Bomba rice
0.25 cup red bell pepper
0.25 cup yellow onion
1 clove garlic
0.25 cup crushed tomatoes
0.5 cup seafood broth
1 pinch saffron threads
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
0.13 tsp sea salt
0.13 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 wedge lemon
PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a small paella pan or heavy skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced chorizo and cook for 2 minutes until the fat renders and it becomes slightly crisp.
Stir in the onion and bell pepper, sautéing until softened and translucent.
Add the garlic, smoked paprika, and Bomba rice, stirring for 1 minute to toast the grains.
Pour in the seafood broth, crushed tomatoes, and saffron threads; stir once to combine and bring to a simmer.
Reduce heat to low and cook undisturbed for 10 minutes to allow the rice to absorb the liquid.
Arrange the shrimp and mussels on top of the rice, pressing them down slightly.
Cover and cook for another 5-8 minutes until the shrimp are pink and the mussels have opened.
Season with sea salt and black pepper, then garnish with fresh parsley and a lemon wedge before serving.
