Provided by Sonja Overhiser

Categories     Main Dish

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 medium yellow onion
6 garlic cloves
2 to 3 roma or plum tomatoes (1 1/2 cups finely chopped)
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
1/2 pound shrimp, peel and deveined*
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika, divided
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 large pinch saffron
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
3 cups seafood stock or vegetable stock
1 1/2 cups short grain Bomba rice or arborio rice
1/4 cup frozen peas, thawed under water
1/2 cup artichoke hearts, quartered
Lemon wedges from 1/2 lemon
Chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Mince the onion. Mince the garlic. Finely chop the tomatoes, removing the cores but keeping the seeds with their juices.
  • Measure out all the remaining ingredients before you start. The cooking process goes fast!
  • Dry the shrimp and add it to a bowl with 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. In your largest skillet or a 4-serving paella pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and saute until it is just barely opaque, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp and set it aside.
  • In the same pan, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil on medium heat. Saute the onion and garlic until just translucent, about 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the chopped tomatoes, the remaining 1 teaspoon smoked paprika and red pepper flakes, and cook until the tomatoes have broken down and most of the liquid is evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir in the stock, saffron and 1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Sprinkle the rice evenly across the broth and tap the pan with a spoon to evenly spread the rice. Bring to a medium simmer and cook without stirring until liquid is absorbed, about 18 to 22 minutes (adjust the cook time as necessary if using a skillet).
  • If your pan is large enough to span multiple burners on your stovetop, adjust the heat on each burner so you achieve a steady medium simmer. Rotate the pan every few minutes for an even cook.
  • When the top of the rice is beginning to show through the liquid (about 10 minutes into the cook time), press the artichokes and peas lightly into the rice.
  • In last few minutes, carefully watch the paella and rotate pan more frequently. As the paella finishes, you'll see the steam start to slow down as the water cooks out. If desired, peek at the bottom of a pan by using a knife to scrape back the rice - you shouldn't see any standing water. The sound will start to change from a simmer to a crackle. This indicates the crust is forming. Let the crackling continue for about 2 minutes before removing from the heat. If you smell any burning, remove immediately.
  • When the paella is done, add the shrimp to top of paella and squeeze the lemon wedges onto the top of the pan. Sprinkle with a pinch or two of kosher salt and add the parsley, if using. Serve with additional lemon wedges.

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA RUB



Grilled Pork Chops with Smoked Paprika Rub image

A lot of purchased barbecue sauces are really high in sugar. If you need to watch the amount of sugar in your diet, try grilling pork chops with this flavorful rub, instead. The rub goes on in advance so the flavors can penetrate the chops.

Provided by Bibi

Categories     BBQ & Grilled Pork Chops

Time 8h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 (5 ounce) boneless pork loin chops, cut 1-inch thick
avocado cooking oil spray
1 ½ tablespoons smoked paprika
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine smoked paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic, and cayenne in a small bowl.
  • Pat chops dry with a paper towel and evenly distribute dry ingredient mixture on front and back of each chop. With fingertips, lightly rub dry ingredient mixture into the chops on both sides.
  • Place chops on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
  • Remove rubbed chops from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
  • While chops are getting to room temperature, clean the grate of an outdoor gas grill and preheat to medium heat.
  • When the grill is ready, lightly spray chops with avocado oil spray.
  • Lightly oil the grill grates, place chops on the grill, and cook for about 3 minutes. Rotate chops 90 degrees to create a criss-cross grill pattern and continue grilling for 3 minutes. Turn chops and grill until pork chops are no longer pink inside, about 4 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • Remove to a serving platter and allow to rest under a foil tent, for about 5 minutes. Serve warm.
