Ingredients

Equipment

  • paella pan or skillet

Directions

  • Sauté onions in olive oil in a Paella pan (or skillet) over moderate heat.
  • Stir in the sausage, garlic, and all-purpose rub. Break up the sausage while stirring to create small palatable pieces.
  • When the meat is almost cooked and the rice and stir until the rice becomes translucent.
  • Add chicken stock and saffron.
  • Cover the pan with a lid or foil then cook on the stove on low heat or in a camp oven preheated to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    Tip: As the liquid evaporates, the rice will cook at the same time. Depending on the type of rice used, more liquid may need to be added. If so, add a half cup at a time.
  • Sauté or grill the large shrimp separately with a slight sprinkling of all-purpose rub and some olive oil.
    Tip: Alternately the shrimp can be added directly to the paella however grilling adds more flavor.
  • When the rice is almost cooked, remove the cover, spread out the peas, and arrange the shrimp onto the rice.
  • Once cooked, drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
