Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Boil a full kettle.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Cut into 2cm pieces.

2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, wide-bottomed ovenproof pan on medium heat. TIP: If you don't have an ovenproof pan, use a normal pan and transfer to an ovenproof dish before baking.

Once hot, add the chorizo and fry, stirring frequently, until it starts to brown, 2-3 mins.

Stir the garlic, smoked paprika and risotto rice into the chorizo. Cook until the edges of the rice are translucent, 1-2 mins.

3

Stir the boiled water for the rice (see pantry for amount) and chicken stock paste into the rice. Bring back to the boil, then pop a lid on the pan (or cover with foil). 

Bake on the middle shelf of your oven until the rice is cooked and the water has been absorbed, 25-30 mins.

Meanwhile, zest and halve the lemon (see ingredients for amount). Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).

Toss the lemon zest and half the parsley together in a small bowl. Set aside.

4

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat. Drain the prawns.

Once hot, add the pepper and fry until just soft, 3-4 mins. Continue to stir while it cooks.

Turn the heat down to medium-high, then add the prawns. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 mins.

Once cooked, remove from the heat and add a squeeze of lemon juice. Cover to keep warm. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. They're cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.

5

When your paella is cooked, remove it from the oven and stir through the prawns, pepper, sun-dried tomato paste and remaining parsley.

Season to taste with salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lemon if needed. TIP: Add a splash of water to loosen the paella if needed.

6

Share your ultimate king prawn and chorizo paella between your bowls. 

Finish with a sprinkle of the parsley and lemon zest mixture over the top.

Enjoy!
