BEST PAELLA RICE RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add chicken to one side and chorizo to the other. Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook until golden, 10 minutes. (Remove chorizo if it's getting too burned.)
• In a large slow-cooker, add browned chicken-chorizo mixture, rice, tomatoes, onion, garlic, paprika, and cayenne and season with salt and pepper. Pour over chicken broth and white wine, then stir to combine.
• Cover and cook on high until rice is almost tender, stirring occasionally, 1½ to 2 hours.
• Remove lid and stir in shrimp and frozen peas. Cover and cook until shrimp is pink and peas warmed through, about 10 minutes more.
• Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or wok. Add the onion and soften for 5 mins.
• Add the smoked paprika, thyme and paella rice, stir for 1 min, then splash in the sherry, if using. Once evaporated, stir in the chopped tomatoes and chicken stock.
• Season and cook, uncovered, for about 15 mins, stirring now and again until the rice is almost tender and still surrounded with some liquid.
• Stir in the seafood mix and cover with a lid. Simmer for 5 mins, or until the seafood is cooked through and the rice is tender. Squeeze over the lemon juice, scatter over the parsley and serve with the lemon wedges.
