Best Paella With Chorizo Shrimp And Baby Artichokes Recipes

SHRIMP AND CHORIZO PAELLA

Steps:

• Heat a large paella pan (or large saute pan) over medium heat. Add the olive oil. When oil is hot, add the onion and saute for 5 minutes, until onion is softened and turning golden. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
• Add the tomato paste and continue to cook until it is completely mixed in and the onions are rust colored, 2- 3 minutes.
• Add the salt, paprika, chili flakes, turmeric and saffron, stir to incorporate.
• Add the rice and stir fry until the rice is completely coated with the oil and spices.
• Stir in the stock. Bring to a simmer.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Add in the sliced chorizo and cook for about 5 more minutes.
• Arrange the shrimp on top. You may need to press the shrimp into the rice with a spoon so that they are almost covered with the remaining liquid. Cook for 5-10 more minutes or until liquid is evaporated.
• Sprinkle parsley on top and serve.

SHRIMP PAELLA WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.

BAKED 'PAELLA' WITH SHRIMP, CHORIZO AND SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit/230 degrees Celsius.
• Add 6 tablespoons/90 milliliters oil, the parsley, half the chile, the roughly chopped garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a grind of pepper to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Scrape half the salsa verde into a medium bowl and reserve the remaining salsa verde.
• Keeping the heads and tails intact, remove and discard the shrimp shells and transfer the head-on shrimp into the medium bowl with the salsa verde. Add the halibut, lemon juice, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a good grind of pepper to the bowl with the shrimp and gently toss to combine. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill while you continue with the rest.
• Add the chorizo, tomatoes, onion, tomato paste and the remaining sliced garlic, chile and 3 tablespoons oil to a large (about 15-by-10 inches/40-by-28 centimeters), deep metal roasting pan and toss to coat. Transfer to the oven and cook until sauce is thickened and browned at the edges, stirring once halfway through, about 20 minutes.
• Stir the rice, artichokes, bell pepper, paprika, saffron, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a good grind of pepper into the pan. Pour in the stock and hot water and stir well to combine. Cover with foil and return to the oven until the rice is cooked through and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 25 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 500 degrees Fahrenheit/260 degrees Celsius.
• Remove the pan from the oven, remove the foil and top with the marinated shrimp and halibut, gently pushing them into the rice without mixing it around too much. Return to the oven, uncovered, until the shrimp and halibut have cooked through, about 5 minutes.
• Spoon the reserved salsa verde over the paella. Serve warm, with the lemon wedges alongside.

GRILLED CHORIZO AND SHRIMP PAELLA

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, saute red pepper and onion in oil until tender. Add the rice, garlic and chipotle pepper; saute 2 minutes longer. Add the broth, tomatoes and saffron. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Let stand for 5 minutes., Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the shrimp, chicken sausage and mango; sprinkle with lime juice and cayenne. Transfer to a grill wok or basket. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 5-8 minutes or until shrimp turn pink, stirring occasionally., Add shrimp mixture to Dutch oven; toss to combine. Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro.

PAELLA WITH CHORIZO, SHRIMP, AND BABY ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Trim off the stems from the artichokes flush with the bottom, and then pull away their outer leaves down to the inner yellow ones. Cut off the top of each artichoke down to the yellow part. Cut each artichoke in half lengthwise.
• In a large sauté pan, heat the 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add the artichokes and garlic and sauté, turning the artichokes often, until they are almost tender but still a little crunchy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside in a warm place.
• Add the shrimp, increase the heat to medium-high, and sauté until just turning pink and curling up, about 5 minutes. (Add more oil if necessary to keep them from burning.) Transfer to the plate with the artichokes.
• Add the sausage and sauté, stirring from time to time to break it into large clumps, until firm, about 5 minutes. Add the rice, stir to mix, and sauté until it is opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in the 6 cups water and the salt and bring to a boil. Decrease the heat to maintain a brisk simmer and cook, stirring often, until the rice is al dente and the liquid is mostly absorbed, about 20 minutes. (Add more water if the dish starts to dry out before the rice is cooked.)
• Stir in the saffron, then the artichokes and shrimp. Cover the pan loosely with a kitchen cloth and let stand for 10 minutes for the rice to steam dry. Serve hot.
