Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 100g chorizo, sliced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 300g paella or long grain rice
  • 600ml fish or chicken stock
  • 100g frozen peas
  • 250g raw peeled prawns
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large, wide pan over medium heat. Cook the chorizo for 3-4 minutes, until it releases its oil.
  2. Add the onion and pepper and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the garlic and smoked paprika and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Add the rice and stir to coat, then pour in the stock. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on low heat for 15 minutes.
  5. Stir in the peas and prawns, cover, and cook for a further 5 minutes, until the prawns are pink and cooked through and the rice is tender.
  6. Season with salt and pepper and serve with lemon wedges.
