🍤 Ina Garten Shrimp Paella Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 C chopped red bell pepper
• 1/2 C chopped sweet onion
• 1/3 C chopped scallions
• 1 C bomba (paella) rice
• 2/3 C chopped tomato
• 1/2 tsp ground turmeric

🥘 How To Make Ina Garten Shrimp Paella

1. Warm up 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a big pan or pot over medium-high heat. Put the rice, scallions, red pepper, and sweet onion in the pan. For about three minutes, or until the vegetables start to get soft, keep moving them.
2. Turmeric, ground paprika, saffron threads, garlic, and salt should all be added now. For three more minutes, stir the food every now and then.
3. Add the veggie broth and clam juice. Bring to a boil and cook for three minutes, stirring every now and then.
4. Bring to a simmer. For the rest of the dish, don’t stir the rice at this point. Let it cook on low heat for five minutes, or until the rice isn’t soupy but there is still some liquid in the pan.
5. Spread the peas and shrimp out evenly on top of the rice, then cover lightly with aluminum foil. Keep cooking for 10 minutes more, or until all the liquid is gone.
6. Add lemon wedges and freshly chopped parsley as a garnish. Serve right away.

💭 Recipe Tips:

• Even Heat Distribution: Use a wide, shallow pan to ensure even heat distribution and better evaporation of the liquid.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: When adding the shrimp, make sure they are in a single layer so they cook evenly.
• The Importance of Saffron: Saffron adds a unique flavor and color. Don’t skip it, as it’s a key ingredient in paella.
• Simmer, Don’t Stir: After adding the rice, let it simmer without stirring. This helps to develop the socarrat (the caramelized crust of rice on the bottom).
• Adjust Liquid as Needed: If the rice seems too dry before it’s fully cooked, you can add a bit more broth.
• Cook Shrimp Properly: Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. They should be pink and just opaque.
