INGREDIENTS
4 oz Shrimp
3 oz Mussels
0.5 oz Spanish Chorizo
0.13 cup Bomba rice
0.5 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup Onion
0.25 cup Red bell pepper
1 clove Garlic
0.25 cup Tomato puree
0.75 cup Seafood stock
1 pinch Saffron threads
0.25 tsp Smoked paprika
0.25 cup Frozen peas
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
1 wedge Lemon
PREPARATION
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a paella pan or wide skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced Spanish chorizo and sauté until it begins to crisp and release its aromatic oils.
Stir in the diced onion and red bell pepper, cooking until the vegetables are softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and Bomba rice, stirring for one minute to lightly toast the grains.
Pour in the tomato puree, seafood stock, and saffron threads, then season with sea salt and black pepper.
Arrange the shrimp and cleaned mussels on top of the rice and simmer undisturbed for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Scatter the frozen peas over the top and continue cooking until the liquid is fully absorbed and the mussels have opened.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with a fresh lemon wedge.
