Saffron Seafood Paella with Chorizo
Simmered saffron-infused rice with smoky chorizo, succulent shrimp, and briny mussels for a vibrant and aromatic Spanish feast.
INGREDIENTS
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 oz Spanish chorizo
5 oz raw shrimp
3 oz fresh mussels
0.25 cup Bomba rice
0.25 cup yellow onion
0.25 cup red bell pepper
1 clove garlic
0.25 cup crushed tomatoes
0.75 cup seafood stock
1 pinch saffron threads
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
0.13 tsp sea salt
0.13 tsp black pepper
1 tsp fresh parsley
1 wedge lemon
PREPARATION
Heat 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 rice, stirring to coat the grains in the flavorful oil for one minute.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, seafood stock, and saffron threads, then stir once to distribute the ingredients.
Bring to a gentle simmer and cook undisturbed for 10-12 minutes until most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Arrange the shrimp and mussels on top of the rice, pressing them down slightly into the surface.
Cover the pan with a lid or foil and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the shrimp are pink and the mussels have opened.
Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with a bright lemon wedge.
