How to Make Ww Seafood Paella

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon saffron threads, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to infuse flavors.
  3. While the broth simmers, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet.
  5. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are lightly browned and softened.
  6. Add 1 cup long-grain rice to the skillet and toast for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to coat the grains with oil.
  7. Pour the simmered broth mixture over the rice and vegetables. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Gently stir in 1 pound cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined), 1/2 cup chopped fresh tomatoes, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
  9. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 10 minutes, or until the liquid is completely absorbed and the rice is cooked through.
  10. Remove from heat and let the paella rest, covered, for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the rice to become fluffy.
