Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp olive oil
1 lb chicken thighs with skin on
1 large onion, diced
5 cloves of garlic, finely minced or run through a garlic press
2 cup chicken broth
1/2 tsp crumbled saffron threads
1/2 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp tomato paste
salt to taste
1 cup short or medium-grain rice , such as arborio
3/4 cup green peas
1/2 lb large shrimp
lemon wedges

Directions:

In a large Dutch oven with lid, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Sprinkle chicken with salt. When the oil is hot, add the chicken, skin side down, and brown on all sides. Remove to a heatproof plate.
Add the onion and garlic to the pot and saute until soft and the onion just begins to color.
Pour in the chicken broth. Add saffron, paprika, cayenne pepper, tomato paste, and salt. Stir to dissolve.
Add the rice and peas, stirring once to prevent sticking.
When the broth comes to a simmer, cover the pot. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cook for 12-15 minutes.
Add the shrimp, cover, and cook until the shrimp is pink and the liquid is mostly absorbed, another 3-5 minutes depending on size and preparation.
Serve with lemon wedges.
