Easy Shrimp Paella Recipe

• Cook Rice. Add 1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter. Once the butter is melted, drain the rice and add the rice to the pan (see left below picture). Mix everything. Then add 2 teaspoons(4g) dried Italian herb seasoning (optional). Mix well (see right below picture).

• Steam Rice and Shrimp. Add 1.5 cups(360ml) of low sodium chicken stock and then mix in 1 teaspoon(6g) of salt. Put the seasoned shrimps on top of rice (see right below picture). Turn to low heat. Cover the pan with a lid. After 5 minutes, turn off the heat. Keep the lid on. Let the residual heat continue steaming the rice for another 15 minutes.

• Sear Rice to Create Crust. There might still be some liquid left. Turn the heat back to medium low. Keep the lid on. First wait until all the liquid fully absorbed by rice. Then pay attention to the sound. Once hearing the sizzling sound, remove the pan off the heat. The paella is ready!
