Method<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

1. Heat olive oil in 12 inch flat bottom frying pan. Add the red bell pepper strips saut\u00e9 and remove. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Add sliced chorizo bilbao, sliced chicken thigh, onion, garlic, salt, saffron, and smoked paprika. Saut\u00e9 until chicken has some color on it and onions are translucent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Add tomatoes and cook until thick. Add 2 cups of chicken stock bring to a boil for 10 minutes, add rice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Stir the chicken around until all rice falls to the bottom, cook for 10 minutes. Add shrimp and squid rings and reduce heat slightly while keeping it at a good simmer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. As liquid gets absorbed, turn shrimp once and add bell pepper and lemon wedges. When it starts to pop like Rice Crispy cereal, monitor heat as to not burn the rice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Test the rice from the top of the paella only. Total cook time should be no more than 25 minutes. Finish with parsley, serve and enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
