Preparation
STEP 1
Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly coat 9x13-inch baking pan or paella pan with olive oil.
STEP 2
In a mixing bowl, drizzle seafood with olive oil. Add paprika, salt and pepper. Toss to coat and set aside.
STEP 3
Drizzle oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they just start to brown. Add chorizo and garlic.
STEP 4
When sausage is brown, add rice and sauté 1 minute, stirring constantly. Transfer rice and sausage to baking dish and return pan to heat. Add tomatoes, peppers, broth and saffron to sauté pan; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, scraping browned bits from bottom of pan. Stir in parsley.
STEP 5
Carefully pour broth mixture into the baking dish; cover with foil and bake 15 minutes. Remove foil and spread seafood over rice. Bake uncovered 15 minutes or until rice and seafood are cooked through. Remove from oven. Top with peas just before serving.
