Easy Paella

Easy Paella
  • 1 Tbsp. Grapeseed Oil
  • 2 leeks or onions, sliced
  • 8 oz. chorizo sausage, chopped
  • 2 tsp. turmeric
  • 2 cups long grain rice
  • 4 cups fish stock or chicken stock, heated
  • 16 oz. frozen peas
  • 1½-2 lbs. frozen cooked shrimp, defrosted
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
  • 4-Qt. Round Casserole w/Lid
Heat oil in casserole until it shimmers. Add leeks or onions and cook until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Brown chorizo and stir in turmeric and rice. Mix well. Pour in hot stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add peas and cook 5 minutes. Stir in shrimp 1-2 minutes before rice is done, to heat through. Serve immediately with lemon wedges. Serves 6-8 people.
Note: Chorizo sausage comes from Spain and has a smoked paprika flavor. You can use pork or chicken instead ― cook for 5 minutes with 1 tsp. smoked paprika before adding rice.
