Cooking Steps

1
  • Preheat the oven to 450˚F. 
  • Wash and dry all produce. 
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Heat a medium pot over medium heat.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then onions, half the garlic puree, half the Smoked Paprika Blend, peppers and rice. Cook, stirring often, until veggies are tender-crisp, 2-3 min. 

 

2
  • Add peas, broth concentrate, 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Cook for 17-18 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
3
  • Meanwhile, arrange bacon strips in a single layer on one side of a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Roast bacon in the top of the oven until crispy and cooked through, 8-12 min.**
4
  • Meanwhile, zest lemon, then cut into wedges.
  • Roughly chop parsley.
  • Using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels.
  • Toss shrimp, remaining spice blend and remaining garlic puree with 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. 
  • Add to the other side of the baking sheet with bacon.
  • Bake in the middle of the oven until shrimp just turn pink, 5-6 min.**
5
  • Crumble bacon.
  • Fluff rice with a fork.
  • Into the pot with the rice, add lemon zest, half the bacon and half the parsley. Stir to combine.
  • Divide paella-style rice between bowls.
  • Top with shrimp, remaining bacon and remaining parsley
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired.
