This version of seafood paella includes chicken and pork, as well as clams, mussels, and shrimp. It's a bit of mar y montaña—or surf and turf—as they say in Spain. A traditional paella pan, a long wooden spoon or paddle, and a barbecue or gas burner are needed to prepare this seafood paella. Swap traditional seafood paella for an easy chicken and chorizo version - a hearty family supper for four.
Instructions to make Chicken and Seafood Paella:
- Light BBQ, once the flames have died down add a 15 inch paella pan to the grill, add the chopped chorizo and stir until starting to brown (2-3 minutes) remove from pan and set aside.
- Add additional oil if needed, add the diced chicken and sear until golden brown (about 6 minutes). Remove and add to chorizo.
- Add the onion and season it generously with sea salt and black pepper. Cook and stir until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Add the garlic, paprika and saffron and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
- Add the finely chopped tomatoes and cook until darkened (about 3 minutes). Add the rice and stir to coat.
- Add the chicken stock and stir to mix, ensure the rice is evenly distributed around the whole pan. And re-add the chicken and chorizo which was set aside. Do not stir the rice from this point onwards.
- Close the lid and simmer for about 12 minutes, rotate the pan occasionally to ensure it cooks evenly. The rice should start making a crackling sound. Most of the liquid should be absorbed.
- Arrange the seafood in the rice, nestling them slightly. Close the grill and cook for a further 10 minutes.
- Remove the pan, cover with foil and allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve with a lemon wedge and fresh bread. Buen Provecho!
