Ingredients

2 cups Arborio Rice
5 cups Chicken Broth
1/2 tsp Saffron
3 tbsp Olive Oil
8 ounces Chorizo sliced
1 pound Shrimp
1 Bell Pepper diced
1 Onion diced
4 cloves Garlic minced
2 Tomatoes diced
2 tsp Paprika

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients. Rinse the rice, soak the saffron threads in warm water, and clean the seafood.
Sauté Aromatics. In a large Paella pan, sauté onions, garlic, tomatoes, and bell peppers for 3-5 minutes until softened.
Add Chorizo. Add sliced chorizo to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, or until it releases its oils and becomes slightly crispy.
Cook Rice. Stir in the Arborio rice and Spanish paprika, coating the grains evenly. Add the saffron-infused water and chicken broth, then bring to a simmer.
Add Seafood. Cover the pan and cook the rice for 20 minutes until the rice is tender. Arrange the seafood on top of the rice, pressing it into the mixture slightly. Cover and simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes until the shrimp is cooked through.
Serve and Enjoy. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy with family and friends!
