Ingredients:

Serving

5 0 z chorizo sausage, thinly sliced
10 frozen, cooked shrimp
olive oil
2 red onions, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, cut into large dice
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 cups chicken stock
pinch of saffron threads
8 oz rice
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
salt and freshly ground black pepper
freshly shopped flat-leaf parsley
lemon wedges

Directions:

Place frozen shrimp in a colander and run cold water over them for some time, to allow them to defrost and remove the tails.
Place a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat and throw in the sliced chorizo. Allow the chorizo to release some of its own oil and color slightly. When the chorizo is almost ready, toss in the shrimp to cook briefly, then remove the prawns and chorizo from the pan and set aside.
Put the chicken stock in a saucepan, add the saffron, and bring to a boil.
While the chicken stock/saffron is boiling, add some olive oil to the large pan and fry the onion and green pepper for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the garlic and cook until the vegetables are completely soft.
Add rice to the pan and mix well. Increase the heat and add the white wine, then the hot stock, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to taste. After adding the seasoning, do not stir the rice again. Gently shake the pan from time to time to be sure the rice isn’t sticking.
Turn the heat down to a simmer and cook the paella for about 15 minutes, return the chorizo and prawn to the pan and allow to cook until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is almost cooked. Expect this to take at least another half an hour.
Let the paella rest a bit after the liquid has been absorbed and then sprinkle with a lot of fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges along the rim. Enjoy!
