Ingredients

2 links cured chorizo, sliced into rounds

2 medium chicken breasts, cut into 1" pieces

Kosher salt

1/2 large onion, chopped

1 red bell pepper, chopped

Pinch of saffron threads

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 c. dry white wine

1 c. Arborio rice

2/3 c. canned diced tomatoes

2 tsp. smoked paprika

1 1/2 c. chicken broth

12 mussels, cleaned and debearded

1/4 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined

Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish

Lemon wedges, for serving

Preparation

Step 1 Heat a large 10" to 12" skillet over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook until crisp, then remove from skillet. If needed, add 1 tablespoon olive oil to skillet. Add chicken and cook until it is tender and no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and remove from pan.Step 2Add more olive oil, if needed, then add onion and bell pepper and cook until tender, 6 minutes. Step 3Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine saffron with 1 tablespoon warm water. Add garlic to skillet and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more.Step 4Add white wine and deglaze pan, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. When wine has evaporated, add rice, tomatoes, and paprika and season with salt and pepper. Stirring occasionally, let rice toast in skillet for 2 to 3 minutes, until spices are fragrant and rice is just starting to brown. Step 5Add chicken broth and saffron (with water). Stir in cooked chorizo and chicken, bring to a simmer, and cover. Cook 12 to 15 minutes, or until almost all liquid has been absorbed by the rice.Step 6Turn down heat and arrange mussels and shrimp on top of rice. Cover and cook 1 to 5 minutes more, until mussels have opened up and shrimp are cooked through. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

One more tip: Keep an eye on the shrimp and mussels—they could cook in as little as a minute! As soon as the shrimp are opaque and the mussels are open, you’re good to go. Just whip up a pitcher of red sangria, and you’ve got a killer Spanish meal in the comfort of your own home. Salud! Made it? Let us know how it went in the comment section below!
