Instructions

1

In a small bowl, combine white wine and saffron and allow to steep at room temperature.

2

Preheat the oven to 375˚F.

3

Heat 1 teaspoon oil in No. 14 Dual Handle Skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallions and cook until softened and lightly charred, about 3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and reserve.

4

Reduce heat to medium. Add chorizo slices to skillet and cook until fat renders and edges brown, 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and reserve.

5

Add 1 teaspoon oil to the fat in the pan. Season chicken pieces with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Add to skillet and sear over medium heat until brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and reserve.

6

Add remaining teaspoon oil to the pan and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in onion, red pepper, garlic, serrano pepper, tomato and paprika and cook until sofrito is soft and jammy, about 8-10 minutes.

7

Increase heat to medium and add rice. Stir to combine and cook until slightly toasted, about 1-2 minutes. Pour in wine-saffron mixture and reduce for 1 minute, stirring to deglaze the pan. Pour in chicken broth, stir just once, and bring to a simmer. Return reserved chorizo and chicken to the pan and return to a simmer; taste broth and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer immediately to the preheated oven and bake uncovered until rice is tender and liquid is almost completely absorbed, about 20-25 minutes.

8

Carefully return paella to the stovetop over medium-high heat. Gently nestle raw shrimp across the top. Cook undisturbed until shrimp are just cooked through and rice develops the crispy socarrat on the bottom, about 5-7 minutes longer. Garnish with additional minced or sliced serrano pepper and reserve charred scallions. Serve with Paprika Aioli
