Shrimp and Chorizo Paella is a Spanish classic. My version is packed with protein, quick and easy, on the table in 30 minutes. The festive nature of serving it in one pan makes it perfect for gatherings. 

Its glowy red hue is thanks to paprika, which also gives it a lovely, smoky, earthy taste.

You can add other seafood ingredients like calamari, mussels, and fish to this recipe if you like.

Serve with a big green salad for a balanced, healthy shrimp dinner.
