Steps:
- In a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook until it releases its fat. 8 to 10 minutes. Add the chicken, onions and garlic and brown the chicken on all sides, about 10 minutes.
- Add the rice and toast for 30 seconds. Add the tomato paste, followed by the saffron and then the wine, stirring. Add the chicken stock, cover and cook--no stirring--for 20 to 25 minutes. By then the rice should be almost done.
- Add the shrimp, mussels and peas and continue to cook until the rice is fluffy and the mussels have opened. Season with salt and pepper. Finish with the scallions and serve.
SHRIMP AND CHORIZO PAELLA
This brown-rice version of the national dish of Spain may raise some eyebrows in Barcelona, but at less than half the calories of the original, this combination of fragrant saffron, garlic, chorizo, and shrimp is a beautiful thing.

Steps:
- Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat. When the pot is hot, add the chorizo and cook until the fat begins to render, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté, stirring often, until it is fragrant, about 1 minute. Then add the saffron, rice, and broth. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook at a very gentle simmer for about 30 minutes.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes with their juices. Cover the pot, and continue to cook for another 25 minutes.
- Season the shrimp with salt and pepper to taste, and stir the shrimp and frozen peas into the mixture. Cover, and continue to cook until the shrimp are cooked through and the rice is tender, about 10 minutes.
- Allow paella to rest for about 5 minutes, covered. Then fluff the rice with a fork, and serve.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh seafood, flavorful chorizo, and bomba or paella rice are essential for a delicious paella.
- Cook the rice properly: Paella rice should be cooked in a flavorful broth and allowed to absorb all the liquid. Do not stir the rice too much, as this can make it mushy.
- Add the seafood and chorizo at the right time: The seafood and chorizo should be added to the paella towards the end of the cooking process, so that they do not overcook.
- Do not overcrowd the pan: Use a large pan so that the rice can spread out evenly and cook properly.
- Let the paella rest before serving: This allows the flavors to meld and the rice to absorb any remaining liquid.
Conclusion:
Paella is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover seafood and vegetables, and it can be easily customized to your own taste. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a paella that will impress your family and friends.
