Directions HIDE IMAGES

STEP 1

Pat the Jumbo Shrimp (12) dry with a paper towel and season with Sea Salt (1 pinch) and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1 pinch).

STEP 2

Roughly dice Red Bell Pepper (1/2) and Green Bell Pepper (1/2).

STEP 3

Finely mince the Garlic (3 clove).

STEP 4

Finely dice the Onion (1/2).

STEP 5

Heat a semi-deep frying pan over medium heat and add Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (1/4 cup). Heat for 2 minutes, then add the onion and garlic. Mix with the oil and cook for 3 minutes. Then, add the red and green bell pepper and stir to mix. Cook for another 4 minutes.

STEP 6

Add Spanish Smoked Sweet Paprika (1/2 teaspoon) and season with Sea Salt (1 pinch) and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1 pinch). Mix, then add Canned Tomato Purée (1/2 cup). Season again with Sea Salt (1 pinch) and mix together until well combined. Cook for 1 minute.

STEP 7

Add the Spanish Rice (1 cup). Pinch in Saffron Threads (1/2 teaspoon) and stir, cooking the rice for 2 minutes.

STEP 8

Add Fish Broth (4 cup) and gently mix everything together. Cook for 15 minutes. While this is cooking you can mix the rice occasionally.

STEP 9

Add the shrimp into the pan and give it a quick stir. After 3 to 5 minutes, the rice should be perfectly cooked, leaving enough broth to make this dish kind of a soup-rice, but not a soup entirely.

STEP 10

Remove from the heat and serve in flat bowls.
