PRAWN & CHICKEN ORZO PAELLA
This recipe is from the local Western Australian Newspaper. Am hoping to make this myself soon but I will use spring onion (scallions) instead of the shallots (for dietary reason) and omit the coriander (cilantro) because we don't like it. Times at this point are an estimate, if you should try please let me know if they are correct.

- Gently fry shallots and, ginger and garlic for a few minutes until softened and lightly coloured.
- Add cubed chicken to pan, season lightly with salt and pepper and fry until browned on all sides but not cooked through.
- Add orzo and stir to coat with oil and let it start to absorb flavours.
- Season with paprika and cover ingredients with stock (you may not need all at once).
- Allow to simmer for about 15 minutes, adding more stock when necessary and stirring occasionally.
- When orzo is just cooked, add the prawns, lemon juice and soy, stir and taste for seasoning, adjust if necessary.

Steps:
- Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced sausage, sliced chicken and cook for about 5 minutes, covered.
- Add chopped red bell pepper and green bell pepper, stir in with sausage and chicken, cover, and continue cooking for about 5 more minutes, on medium heat.
- Add shrimp and cook until shrimp just turns red. Add chopped green onions.
- Add spices (sweet smoked paprika and red chili powder), add just a touch of turmeric for color. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and keep the skillet covered. The shrimp and green onions will continue cooking slightly when covered and off heat - without overcooking.
- Cook 2 cups of rice in a sauce pan according to package instructions.
- Add cooked rice into the skillet with shrimp, chicken and sausage. Mix everything well, so that olive oil, juices from spicy sausages, and other cooking juices and spices coat orzo or rice.
- Add some chicken stock or water to make paella more juicy vs. dry. Keep adding more chicken stock or water to achieve the desired consistency of your paella - I think the juicier it is, the better. Add more salt and pepper if needed.

Steps:
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a 5-quart Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil over medium-high. Working in batches, cook chicken (do not crowd pot) until browned, 7 to 8 minutes, turning once. Transfer to a plate (reserve pot); set aside.
- Place bell pepper, chorizo, onion, garlic, and tomatoes (with their juice) in pot; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has evaporated, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Add rice; cook, stirring, until translucent around edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Add broth and chicken; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer; cover, and cook until rice begins to soften, about 10 minutes. Add peas and shrimp, submerging them in liquid. Cover and cook until shrimp are opaque throughout, 4 to 6 minutes.
