INGREDIENTS
  Mediavine
 1 tbsp Vigo Olive Oil
 4 oz ground chorizo
 1 lb chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
 1/2 cup peas fresh or frozen
 1/4 cup celery finely chopped
 1/2 cup yellow onion finely chopped
 1 tsp garlic minced
 29 oz diced tomatoes (2 14.5 oz cans) tomatoes drained & juice reserved
 1 cup Vigo Yellow Rice uncooked
 2 bay leaves fresh
 2 tsp salt or to taste
 3 1/2 cup chicken broth
 1 lb shrimp peeled, deveined, tails removed

INSTRUCTIONS
In a large skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook & crumble until done about 5-7 minutes. Remove chorizo from skillet (place in a bowl and cover with a towel) but leave the grease.

Add chicken to skillet and cook Cook chicken until outsides are no longer pink (about 3-5 minutes). Remove chicken from skillet (place in another bowl and cover with a towel).

Add peas, celery, yellow onion, and garlic to the skillet and sauté until onion and celery become tender about 5 minutes.

Add diced tomatoes (note - this should *just* be the tomatoes; drain and reserve the juice from the can for later), Vigo Yellow Rice, bay leaves, and season with salt (to taste). Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Pour in reserved tomato juice and chicken broth, then add the cooked chicken back to skillet and stir thoroughly. Bring ingredients to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer.

Cover skillet and let cook for 20 minutes.

Remove cover and add cooked chorizo back to the skillet. Continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Arrange shrimp in an even layer on top of the rice mixture. Cook shrimp for about 5-10 minutes, turning halfway through, until bodies are pink and slightly curled.

Serve finished paella immediately with parsley for garnish (optional).
