Saffron Seafood Paella with Chorizo
Saffron-infused rice simmered with succulent shrimp, mussels, and spicy chicken chorizo for an aromatic dish that captures the essence of the Mediterranean coast.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz shrimp
3 oz mussels
1 oz chicken chorizo
0.13 cup bomba rice
0.25 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup red bell pepper
0.25 cup onion
2 clove garlic
0.25 cup tomato puree
1 cup chicken bone broth
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 olive oil in a paella pan or wide skillet over medium heat and brown the sliced chicken chorizo until crisp.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the pan, sautéing until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and bomba rice, toasting the grains for one minute until they are well-coated in the oils.
Pour in the tomato puree, chicken bone broth, and saffron threads, then season with sea salt and black pepper.
Bring the liquid to a simmer and cook undisturbed for 10-12 minutes until the rice is nearly tender and most liquid is absorbed.
Nestle the shrimp and mussels into the rice, cover the pan, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the shrimp are pink and mussels have opened.
Remove from heat and let the paella rest for 5 minutes to develop the socarrat crust on the bottom.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with a lemon wedge to brighten the flavors.
