Shrimp & Chorizo Paella Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chorizo

   In a large skillet or paella pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove chorizo and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same pan, add the diced onion, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Cook the Rice

   Add the Chile-achiote rice to the pan and stir to coat with the oil and vegetable mixture. Cook for 2 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Broth and Saffron

   Pour in the chicken broth and add the saffron threads. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes.

5. 5

   Add Shrimp and Chorizo

   After the rice has absorbed most of the broth, add the shrimp and cooked chorizo back into the pan. Cook uncovered for another 5-7 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
