Paella with Chorizo, Shrimp, Clams and Chicken with Garlic Aioli
RECIPE COURTESY OF ANNE BURRELL
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr
Active: 1 hr
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Paella:
2 quarts chicken stock
1 large pinch saffron threads
Extra-virgin olive oil, for coating
4 ounces Spanish or Mexican chorizo, diced
2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced into 1-inch pieces
4 cloves garlic, smashed
2 stalks celery, diced
1 yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 tomato, diced
1/2 cup fresh peas
2 cups Bomba rice
12 littleneck clams
6 large shrimp, cleaned, head and tail left on, shells reserved

Aioli:
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
4 cloves garlic, smashed
2 large egg yolks
1 cup canola oil
Kosher salt

Serving:
1 small bunch chives, sliced

Directions

Special equipment: two 10-inch paella pans

For the paella: Add the chicken stock, saffron threads and shrimp shells to a medium saucepan and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, coat the paella pans generously with olive oil. Add the chorizo, dividing it between the two pans. Set the pans over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the chorizo is crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the chicken to the pans and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is beginning to brown, but isn’t cooked all the way through.

Add the garlic, celery, onions, peppers and tomato to a food processor and pulse until chopped into a coarse paste. Add to the paella pans and cook until all of the liquid has evaporated and the veggies are soft and slightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the peas and cook 2 to 3 minutes.
Add about 1/2 cup of the stock to each pan and stir, making sure to scrape up the fond from the bottom of the pans. Season to taste with salt. Add about another cup of the stock to each pan, then bring the liquid to a boil.

Add the rice and stir until thoroughly combined. Nestle the clams into the rice and cook for 5 minutes. Nestle the shrimp into the rice and simmer until the shrimp are pink and cooked through and the clams have fully opened, 5 minutes.

For the aioli: Meanwhile, add the vinegar, garlic and egg yolks to a food processor and process until combined. With the machine running, slowly add the oil to emulsify the mixture. Season to taste with salt.

For serving: Garnish with the chives and a drizzle of aioli.

As confident as I am in the kitchen, Paella is a dish that has always intimidated me to make. Hopefully this summer I’ll finally give it a go.

[allentrice]

I really realize that Anne Burrell is always amazing for cooking seafood and then some! Well done!

[carolinescookingkitchenlif]

Interestingly amazing, thanks for sharing🙏💝

[reginaldiii]

This is where I wish they would bring in chefs to make authentic recipes like a paella.

[tinasoblessed]

I love a beautiful delicious looking paella!👍🏼👍🏼

True original Paella which is from Valencia, Spain, does not have chorizo nor vinegar. There is mixed paella which has chicken & seafood; but it is not the original one. But this is a rice that she has created and calling it paella.

[tama]

her: im using sherry vinegar....the reason im using sherry vinegar is because sherry is from spain

me : umm.... okay then

[kennethcook]

Chef Anne is always amazing, but what about something for those of us who are fine with fish but allergic to shellfish?
Why does your Paella have to have shellfish?

[reznae]

STRUTH I DIDNT REGONISE HER 🤣🤣🤣❤😉👍👍 SEAFOOD 😋😋😋

[rebeccaquandt]

Saffron is a Stamen, not a stigma....although interesting concept to think about...

[omarvazquez]

that is not a Paella, that is a rice with seafood in its style but far from being a paella

[lydiatabares]

That is not paella. Is rice with too much things. Greetings from Spain.

[Starboy-mpci]

Lol her hair. Looks like she been in the wind.

[Random-eems]

i don't think they are worst chef
They are somehow good bdw😀

[cioccolatamania]

Paella has to be the most contentious food beside carbonara.

[julienprevost]

Jamie Oliver once got crucified on Twitter for putting chorizo in his paella

[sebastianabsolution]

i heard anne burrell verbally abuses her employees.🥴🥴🥴

[SD-oigr]

I’m sure they this tasted lovely but that’s a whole lot of different flavours in there lol.

[carlosgomez]

That's an abomination. They should stop giving this woman air time

[drewconway]

Anne has her fans behind her. (They’re on the wall.)
