👨🍳 Instructions:
-
Heat the oil: In a large lidded frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
-
Sauté vegetables: Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the pan. Sauté for about 2 minutes until they start to soften.
-
Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic cloves and continue cooking for another 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Incorporate rice and tomato: Add the diced tomato and Spanish rice to the pan, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to lightly toast the rice.
-
Add chorizo: Stir in the sliced chorizo sausage, distributing it evenly throughout the pan.
-
Pour in stock: Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, ensuring it covers the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
-
Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and simmer for 15 minutes. This allows the rice to cook until tender and absorb all the flavorful juices.
-
Add shrimp: After 15 minutes, uncover the pan and add the large shrimp to the mixture. Stir well to combine.
-
Continue cooking: Cover the pan again and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, and the liquid has been absorbed by the rice.
