Ingredients:
1 7 -ounce link spanish chorizo, cut in half horizontally and sliced into half moons |
2 tablespoons amore garlic paste, or 6 garlic cloves, chopped |
1 large tomato, diced |
1 14 -ounce can low-sodium chicken broth |
1 teaspoon saffron |
salt and freshly ground pepper |
2 8 .8-ounce packages uncle ben's original long-grain ready rice |
1 cup frozen peas |
1 1/4 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined |
Directions:
1. Shrimp are normally an ingredient in paella and so is chorizo but I left the chicken and several other ingredients out to simplify it for you. 2. In a large saute pan heat chorizo over medium heat until fat is rendered, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant. Add tomato, chicken broth, and saffron; bring to a simmer. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add rice and frozen peas; stir to combine. Cover and bring up to a simmer. Let cook for about 2 minutes. Season shrimp with salt and pepper and lay on top of rice mixture. Cover and continue to cook until shrimp are just done, about 4 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper, if necessary, and serve. |
