Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips. Thinly slice chorizo into rounds. Peel and mince garlic.
• 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 (you’ll use the rest later), and half the turmeric (all for 4 servings) into pan with bell pepper and chorizo; cook until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. • Stir in 3 cups water (6 cups for 4), stock concentrates, and salt. Bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has absorbed and rice is tender, 15-20 minutes. TIP: Add a splash more water if liquid evaporates before rice is fully cooked.
• While rice cooks, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with 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 done, 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. Turn off heat.
• Once rice is done, turn off heat and stir in peas. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Top with shrimp; drizzle with garlic aioli and serve. TIP: Serve directly from pan for a family-style experience.
Shrimp are fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Great flavor profile and satisfying texture. The red pepper and peas added to the color and contrast of the dish. Fresh shrimp were excellent.
This was amazing! It was very easy to make and was very filling! I made it without peas because we don't care for peas a lot. It's was the perfect amount.
One of our favorites we always order. Like the combo of shrimp & chorizo. Like the peas & rice mix. Good amount of spice.
Between the smoky sausage creamy rice and sweet peas, this dish is amazing! Truly a new favorite.
The sauce was the cherry on top of this delicious meal. I recommend making the aioli first to enhance the garlic flavor.
This is what I have always wanted jambalaya to be! I skipped the peas (and the aioli). Otherwise this recipe is perfection!
This was soooo good. I did modify it just a tad with added chicken bouillon. Mainly because I don't like strong seafood flavors. but it's a nice easy tasty dish
Always a favorite, though I tend to add extra chorizo and veggies like grilled onion. But, on its own this is a great deal of tasty, spicy food for very little effort.
The recipe was good and rewarmed well, but seemed to lack overall depth of flavor. It was rather bland for such a lively dish.
This was really good. My only suggestion is make ratio of sausage to shrimp equal. Sausage made the dish!
