it's hard to believe that six months ago ben and i were getting ready to walk down the isle. to be honest, with thanksgiving week coming up i didn't even realize six months of wedded bliss had already flown by! benjamin came home with a bottle of grenache spanish wine and all the wonderful ingredients for paella. it was just as delicious as i remember it six months ago in our cooking class in barcelona...and on our new china to boot.
what ya need:
1 pd. shrimp
2 chicken breast
1 cup orzo
4 cups seafood stock
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1 yellow onion
1 clove garlic
olive oil
salt & pepper
drizzle some olive oil onto a warm skillet and add unpeeled shrimp.
cook on each side for 4-5 minutes or until pink.
remove shrimp from skillet and add diced onion, garlic, red and green pepper.
add 1 cup of orzo to the onion, garlic and pepper mixture. mix well and allow flavors to come together.
add diced chicken breast. mix well and allow chicken to cook for 8 - 10 minutes. pour in seafood stock and place shrimp on top. allow paella to cook for 30 minutes. add salt as needed.
ENJOY!
pairs nicely with gazpacho, almond & parsley soup and shrimp
ceviche salad...and of course a good red wine.
