      This clam and shrimp paella with chorizo is seasoned with saffron for that authentic paella flavor. Paella, a popular dish in Spain, is a favorite in my house. Its a one-pot meal made of rice, seafood, chorizo, and veggies. Another delicious Spanish rice dish that I love if you dont like seafood is my moms Arroz Con Pollo.,Paella originated in Valencia, Spain and is popular throughout the country. Paella is a Spanish rice dish, generally seasoned with saffron and paprika, cooked in a large frying pan. Paella can include a variety of proteins, including chorizo, sausage, chicken, mussels, clams, or shrimp.,In Spain, paella is cooked in a special skillet called a paellera, but you dont need a fancy paella pan to make this dish. A large skillet with a fitted lid will work perfectly.,If you cant find clams, use mussels or double the amount of shrimp.,If you want to add chicken, use less seafood and add a half-pound of diced chicken breast or thigh when you add the broth.,If you dont have fresh bell pepper, jarred roasted peppers will work too.,Sicilian Rice Ball Casserole,Greek Chicken Meal Prep Rice Bowls,Lentil and Rice Bowls with Eggs and Bacon,Korean Beef Rice Bowls,Shrimp, Peas and Rice
