2. Cooking Directions

  1. In a heavy 12-inch saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp until just pink on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes (do not overcook). Transfer to a plate.
  2. Add remaining tablespoon oil and sausage to pan; cook over medium-high heat until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and rice; cook, stirring to coat, until rice is translucent, 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Stir in paprika, turmeric, tomatoes, and broth, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover, and cook until rice is tender and has absorbed almost all liquid, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in peas; cook 1 minute. Stir in cooked shrimp; serve immediately.

Yield: 8 servings

3. Still Hungry?

You don't need a paella pan to make this meal. Use a wide, shallow saute pan with a lid. If you are taking this dish to a party, reheat it covered; add water as needed.

Notes:

Note

Paella is usually flavored and colored with saffron, the world's most expensive spice. We used paprika and turmeric instead, which are less expensive but create an equally good dish.

  • No Saffron-No Really Good Paella

    terman05 - October 7, 2007 12:15:54 PM PST
    Really good Paella is not done without saffron. Goya azafran(saffron) is not expensive, and it is just as good as Ms. Stewart\'s expensive spices. Try it. You\'ll love it, for the taste and beautiful color of really great Paella.

  • With a little twist

    Jun - October 7, 2007 12:10:53 PM PST
    Being Japanese, I always have rice made and leftovers in the fridge. I used curry powder in addition to the spices listed and used pork and pineapple in it also. By using cold rice, the cooking time was shorter and the rice came out nice and fluffy and absorbed all the flavors.

    I will definitely make this again!!

  • What about ths cholesterol????

    batmanbob - October 7, 2007 12:22:12 PM PST
    Why do none of the recipes here give a cholestrol count? As a heart attack survivor I am more interested in the cholestrol count than than calories.

  • Shellfish Allergies

    the Wicked Witch - October 7, 2007 12:25:01 PM PST
    Having more than one family member (including myself) who is allergic to shellfish, I found that blending several different types of sausage (chicken, italian and turkey) makes for a most pleasant meal. I\'ve also tried it with cut up chicken breast instead of the sausage and with a mixture of brown and white rice. Overall not bad.
