Saffron Seafood Paella with Chorizo
Sautéed shrimp and smoky chorizo simmered with saffron-infused rice and vibrant peppers for a meal that offers a crisp, caramelized socarrat on the bottom.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Large shrimp
1 oz Spanish chorizo
2 tbsp Bomba rice
0.25 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup Yellow onion
0.5 cup Red bell pepper
2 cloves Garlic
1 cup Chicken bone broth
0.25 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 olive oil in a wide skillet or paella pan over medium heat.
Add the diced chorizo and sauté until the fat renders and the edges are slightly crisp.
Stir in the onion and red bell pepper, cooking until the vegetables are softened and translucent.
Add the garlic, smoked paprika, and Bomba rice, stirring for one minute to toast the grains.
Pour in the chicken bone broth and add the saffron threads, sea salt, and black pepper.
Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook undisturbed for 10 minutes.
Press the shrimp into the top of the rice and continue to simmer for 5-7 minutes until the shrimp are opaque.
Increase the heat to medium-high for the last 60 seconds to create the caramelized rice crust.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon before serving.
