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°.
