Easy Paella

This is a fast and simple recipe for paella with seafood and sausage.

3 fresh chorizo or Italian sausages
1 onion, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp marjoram
3 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups rice
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can baby clams, drained
450g bag of raw shrimp/prawns, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup frozen peas

Remove sausage from casing and crumble into a large non-stick skillet on medium heat. Add onion, celery, and garlic and cook until sausage has browned. Add turmeric and marjoram, cook for a minute. Add broth, rice, diced tomatoes, and clams. Turn heat on high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer covered for 20-25 minutes, until liquid is absorbed. Add shrimp and peas, and cook covered for another 5 minutes, until shrimp is pink and peas have cooked through.

This was really delicous. The whole family ate it, even Cole. Well, Cole didn’t finish it but he did eat some of it, which is pretty good for him.  Tony mentioned several times how good it was. I liked that it wasn’t hard to put together and it didn’t take long to cook. I like one-dish meals and this is a great one.

    I made this last night and my husband loved it. I think he liked the sausage in it because i don’t use sausage very often in my cooking. I couldn’t actually get the casing off to cook it so I just cut up the sausage into small pieces and that worked. I am going to try frying some chicken breast in with the sausage next time as well. I left the clams out since my hubby isn’t a seafood lover. Great recipe..thanks for sharing it!
