How to Make Shrimp Paella

  1. Step 1

    In a shallow bowl or casserole dish, toss together shrimp, wine and half the garlic. Marinate for at least 1 hour, covered and chilled.

  2. Step 2

    In a large pan, pour chicken stock and clam juice and heat over medium heat. Add chicken sausages and cook until sausages plump, about 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Remove chicken sausages, cut into 1/4-inch slices and set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Add water and bring to a boil. Add onion, remaining garlic, brown rice, saffron and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rice is fully cooked, about 20 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Add shrimp and marinade and stir until shrimp is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Add sausage slices, artichokes, pimientos and peas and stir until mixture is hot. Serve hot.
