Saffron Seafood Paella with Chorizo
Saffron-infused Bomba rice simmered with succulent shrimp, mussels, and spicy turkey chorizo for a vibrant dish featuring a crisp, golden socarrat.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Shrimp
1 oz Turkey chorizo
4 whole Mussels
0.13 cup Bomba rice
0.25 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup Yellow onion
1 clove Garlic
0.25 cup Red bell pepper
0.25 cup Tomato puree
0.75 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
0.13 tsp Saffron threads
0.25 tsp Smoked paprika
0.13 tsp Sea salt
0.13 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a wide skillet or paella pan over medium heat and sauté the diced turkey chorizo until browned.
Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced red bell pepper to the pan, cooking until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Stir in the smoked paprika and Bomba rice, ensuring every grain is well-coated with the oil and spices.
Pour in the tomato puree and the chicken broth mixed with saffron threads, then season with sea salt and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer undisturbed for 12 to 15 minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Nestle the shrimp and cleaned mussels into the rice, cover the pan, and cook for another 5 minutes until the shrimp are pink and mussels have opened.
Increase the heat to medium-high for 1 minute to develop the toasted rice crust known as the socarrat at the bottom of the pan.
Remove from heat, discard any mussels that did not open, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
