Dominican Paella
Dominican paella is a delicious locrio with shrimp and longaniza inspired by Spanish and Dominican fusion flavors.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp achiote oil or 1 tbsp olive oil + 1½ tsp sazón
- 1 cup longaniza
- ½ red bell pepper sliced
- 2 cloves garlic mashed
- 2 tbsp sofrito
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- ½ tsp adobo
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1½ cups + 2 tbsp water
- 1½ cups rice extra long grain
- ¼ lb shrimp
- ½ cup green peas
Instructions
- In a pot, heat achiote oil over a medium heat and add the longaniza. Cook the longaniza until it's dark and crispy, or about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the bell peppers, garlic, sofrito, tomato paste, adobo, and salt to the pot and mix until the vegetables are beginning to soften and the spices are fragrant, or about 2 minutes.
- Add the water to the pot and wait about 1-2 minutes until it starts boiling. Add the rice and stir occasionally until almost all the water has evaporated.
- Add the shrimp and green peas to the pot and give it one last mix before creating a dome with the rice and covering with a lid. Lower the heat to simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. ¡Buen provecho!
