Saffron Seafood Paella with Chorizo
Saffron-infused Bomba rice simmered with succulent shrimp, mussels, and smoky chorizo to create a vibrant dish with a crisp, golden socarrat base.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Shrimp
0.75 oz Spanish chorizo
3 whole Mussels
0.25 cup Bomba rice
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup Yellow onion
0.25 cup Red bell pepper
1 clove Garlic
0.25 cup Tomato puree
0.75 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 olive oil in a small paella pan or heavy skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced chorizo and sauté for 2 minutes until the oils are rendered and the meat is browned.
Stir in the diced onion and red bell pepper, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and Bomba rice, stirring for 1 minute to toast the grains.
Pour in the tomato puree and seafood broth, then crumble in the saffron threads; season with sea salt and black pepper.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer undisturbed for 10 minutes.
Nestle the shrimp and mussels into the rice, then continue to simmer for 8-10 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the seafood is cooked through.
Increase heat to medium-high for the last 60 seconds to develop the socarrat crust on the bottom of the pan.
Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve with a lemon wedge.
