Saffron Seafood Paella with Chorizo
Saffron-infused Bomba rice simmered with succulent shrimp, mussels, and smoky chorizo for a vibrant dish featuring a crisp, golden socarrat bottom.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Shrimp
0.25 oz Spanish chorizo
3 oz Mussels
0.13 cup Bomba rice
0 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup Yellow onion
0.25 cup Red bell pepper
1 clove Garlic
0.25 cup Frozen peas
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 small paella pan or wide skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced chorizo and cook for 2 minutes until the oils are released, then add the onion and red bell pepper, sautéing until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the Bomba rice to the pan, stirring to coat every grain in the flavorful oils for about 1 minute.
Crumble the saffron threads into the chicken bone broth and pour the liquid over the rice; do not stir the rice again to allow the socarrat crust to form.
Simmer uncovered over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed.
Nestle the shrimp and mussels into the rice, then sprinkle the peas over the top.
Cover the pan with a lid or foil for 5-7 minutes until the shrimp are pink and the mussels have opened.
Increase the heat to medium for the final 60 seconds to crisp up the bottom of the rice.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with a lemon wedge.
