Saffron Seafood Paella with Chorizo
Saffron-infused rice simmered with succulent shrimp, mussels, and smoky chorizo in a traditional paella pan for a vibrant, golden-hued feast.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Shrimp
1 oz Spanish Chorizo
3 whole Mussels
0.25 cup Bomba Rice
0.5 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
0.25 cup Onion
0.25 cup Red Bell Pepper
1 clove Garlic
0.25 cup Tomato Puree
0.75 cup Seafood Stock
0.13 tsp Saffron threads
0.5 tsp Smoked Paprika
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 stainless steel skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced chorizo and sauté for 2 minutes until the red oils are released, then add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and saffron threads, toasting for 30 seconds until highly fragrant.
Add the tomato puree and the Bomba rice, stirring constantly for 1 minute to ensure every grain is coated in the sofrito base.
Pour in the seafood stock and season with sea salt and black pepper; bring to a gentle simmer and do not stir the rice again.
After 8 minutes of simmering, nestle the shrimp and mussels into the rice and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and a light crust forms on the bottom.
Remove from heat, cover with a clean towel for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley and a lemon wedge before serving.
