Directions

  1. 1

    Bring water to a boil. In a non-stick or shallow pan with a lid, sauté the onion, bell peppers, chorizo, and garlic in the oil over high heat for 3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Stir in the rice and crushed tomatoes along with 2 cups of boiling water, cover, and cook over high heat for 12 minutes.

  3. 3

    Uncover the pan and stir; the rice should be nearly tender.

  4. 4

    Stir in the shrimp with a little more water if the rice seems dry, then cook for another minute until the shrimp are light pink and the rice is tender.

💡 Chef's Tip

Tip: Use fresh or thawed shrimp for the best results. If the rice becomes too dry, add a little more water. The chorizo adds a lot of flavor, so use it judiciously. Garnish with fresh parsley for extra color.
