Is there anything better than digging into a bountiful paella? Infused with smoky, aromatic spices and mixed with tender strips of bell pepper, juicy shrimp, and crispy chorizo—one bite of this festive dish will immediately transport you to seaside Spain (no passport required!). Better yet, it couldn’t be easier to whip up. You don’t need to build a fire in the backyard or run out to buy any fancy one-use pans, all you need is 40 minutes for pure paella bliss. FYI, it’s completely acceptable (even authentic!) to eat right out of the skillet. Now all you need is a pitcher of Sangria...

Cooking Steps
Wash and dry all produce. Core, deseed, and thinly slice bell pepper. Mince garlic. Thinly slice chorizo into rounds.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and chorizo. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bell pepper is slightly softened and chorizo is lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.
Stir rice, half the garlic, half the paprika, and half the turmeric (all the turmeric for 4 servings) into same pan; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in 3 cups water (6 cups for 4), stock concentrates, and salt. Bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until water has evaporated and rice is tender, 15-20 minutes. TIP: Add a splash of water if liquid evaporates before rice is fully cooked.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and a pinch of remaining garlic to taste. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
Rinse shrimp under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt, pepper, and remaining paprika. When rice is almost finished, heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a second large pan over high heat. Once pan is hot, add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque and cooked through, 3-4 minutes.
Once rice is finished, turn off heat and stir in peas. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Top with shrimp and drizzle with garlic aioli. TIP: Serve directly from pan for a family-style paella experience.

Reviews from our home cooks
I took a chance on this one, I've never been a fan of shrimp but I love chorizo and paella, so i figured 2 out of 3 was a good chance. I LOVED IT!!! Apparently I've never had shrimp prepared in a way i like before. With the smoky spices of the chorizo to balance the brine from the shrimp, this is one of my new favorite dishes!
This take on Paella was amazing and the recipe was straight forward. We loved the quality of the ingredients, especially the shrimp and were really satisfied with the meal!
This is one of my favorite recipes to date. Love the smokiness of the chorizo with the shrimp. There was enough for 4 with a salad for a guest dinner! I will be making this on my own now too.
One of my favorites. The green peas made the dish pop. I love the spices and shrimp. The chorizo sausage gives this paella a good smoky flavor.
Revise the recipe to have the rice cook separately from the peppers and chorizo, then add these when you add the peas followed by the shrimp. They were way overcooked by having them cook with the rice.
Super easy meal to cook! Had such great flavor with the shrimp and the dried chorizo however I do think it could've used an Anaheim chilly pepper possibly.
All I can say is, wow! Lots of shrimp with this dish. Delicious and way easier than any paella I've made before.
I think this is one my of faves so far, super easy & absolutely delicious!! The chorizo and shrimp went perfectly together.
Tweaked the directions a bit--definitely do not need much oil to cook meat that produces oil, and definitely do not need much salt with processed meats or shrimp (they're already salty). Cooked the shrimp and mixed them in with the paella before the rice finished, and added the peas. Everything was fantabulous when the rice crisped on the bottom
We liked the spiciness - not overwhelmingly hot. We added more shrimp, and more bell pepper. Garlic aioli was good and it was nice to have a meal in one pan
