PREPARATION

  • 1

    Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a paella pan or wide heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.

  • 2

    Add the diced Spanish chorizo and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the oils are released and the edges are slightly crisp; remove the chorizo and set aside.

  • 3

    In the same pan, add the diced yellow onion and red bell pepper, cooking until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  • 4

    Stir in the minced garlic and smoked paprika, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  • 5

    Add the Bomba rice to the pan, stirring to coat every grain in the flavored oil for about 1 minute.

  • 6

    Pour in the tomato puree, seafood broth, and saffron threads. Stir once to distribute the rice evenly, then season with sea salt and black pepper.

  • 7

    Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 10-12 minutes without stirring to allow the 'socarrat' (crust) to form on the bottom.

  • 8

    Nestle the shrimp and scrubbed mussels into the rice. Scatter the cooked chorizo back over the top.

  • 9

    Continue to cook for another 5-8 minutes until the shrimp are pink, the mussels have opened, and the liquid is fully absorbed.

  • 10

    Remove from heat, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rest for 5 minutes.

  • 11

    Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with a lemon wedge for a bright finish.
