Ingredients:

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 zucchini, diced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads

- 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Instructions:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet, cook the chorizo with 2 tablespoons of water over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the water evaporates and the chorizo is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. |
| 2 | With a slotted spoon, transfer the chorizo to paper towels to drain, leaving the drippings in the skillet. Cook chicken in the chorizo drippings in the skillet until lightly browned, about 5 minutes, then set aside with the chorizo. |
| 3 | Add the oil to the skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the scallions, garlic, zucchini, and broccoli. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 4 minutes. |
| 4 | Stir in the peas, dried oregano, and saffron. |
| 5 | In a small bowl, combine the chicken broth and crushed red pepper flakes. Whisk in the cornstarch to dissolve. Stir into the skillet and bring to a simmer. |
| 6 | Return the shrimp and chorizo to the skillet, and cook until the sauce thickens and the shrimp and chorizo are heated through, about 1 minute. |
| 7 | Season with salt and hot pepper sauce to taste. |
| 8 | Serve the Paella Saute hot, garnished with chopped parsley. Enjoy with rice or couscous for a complete meal! |
