How to Make Party Paella

  1. Heat olive oil in a large paella pan or wide, shallow skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chicken and chorizo; cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Add onion and bell peppers to the pan and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in garlic and smoked paprika; cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Add crushed tomatoes and chicken broth; bring to a simmer.
  6. Stir in saffron threads.
  7. Add rice and stir to combine.
  8. Return chicken and chorizo to the pan.
  9. Arrange shrimp and mussels on top of the rice.
  10. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is almost cooked through.
  11. Remove the lid and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed, and the seafood is cooked through.
  12. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
