Seafood Paella Recipe

Heart Healthy Recipe Diabetes Recipe
Paella is a traditional Spanish dish that is an easy one-pot meal. This flavorful seafood paella recipe replaces high fat pork sausage with healthier low fat chicken sausage and shrimp.

Ingredients

    • 2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
    • 1 cup white wine
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 2 cups low sodium chicken stock
    • 2 cups clam juice
    • 4 precooked chicken sausages (about 12 oz total)
    • 1 cup water
    • 3/4 cup chopped onion
    • 2 cups brown rice
    • 1 tsp saffron threads
    • Black pepper to taste
    • 2 cans (8 1/2 oz each) artichoke hearts, drained
    • 1 jar (4 oz) whole pimientos, drained and chopped
    • 1 cup cooked peas

Preparation

    • In a shallow bowl or casserole dish, toss together shrimp, wine and half the garlic. Marinate for at least 1 hour, covered and chilled.
    • In a large pan, pour chicken stock and clam juice and heat over medium heat. Add chicken sausages and cook until sausages plump, about 10 minutes.
    • Remove chicken sausages, cut into 1/4-inch slices and set aside.
    • Add water and bring to a boil. Add onion, remaining garlic, brown rice, saffron and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rice is fully cooked, about 20 minutes.
    • Add shrimp and marinade and stir until shrimp is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Add sausage slices, artichokes, pimientos and peas and stir until mixture is hot. Serve hot.
