Prawn Paella
For a taste of seaside Spain try this super delicious and simple Paella Recipe. This is a great dinner recipe, also a winner at the parties. I have used Risotto rice for this, a little tip, buy a packet of good quality Risotto rice, and it will last months. The rice is slightly expensive but considering how well it lasts i think it makes sense to buy and keep a packet in the pantry. Especially for days when you don’t know what to cook but you know you wanna eat something really really nice without much effort.

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan over a medium heat.
- fry the sausages for 4-5 mins. Remove and set aside.
- Fry the prawns till they turn dark golden and set aside.
- Add some oil if you think the pan needs it. Now add the onion and garlic in the hot oil for 4-5 mins until softened, then add the bell peppers and rice.
- Cook till the rice is nice translucent. Stir in the saffron milk and chicken stock. Stir and season to taste. Bring to the boil and then reduce to a low heat, cover with a lid and cook for 15 minutes.(Do not add the chicken stock all at once, add in slowly. Start with 2 cups, when the stock has evaporated, add some more. Keep adding till the rice is almost done.) Add pepper, paprika. Mix it well. Now add the sausages and the prawns.
- Plate and sprinkle with roughly chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon. Enjoy!
