A flavorful classic Spanish rice dish made in one pan! Please see notes about using Bomba rice. Cooking time will vary due to burner heat, altitude and pan used, so be sure to keep an eye on your rice. You want that crispy soccorat, but you don't want to burn it:)
Heat pan on medium heat, when pan is hot place foil pouch in pan. Heat both sides for 15 seconds, remove from heat and set aside
Immediately add olive olive to hot pan, add onions, chorizo, and chicken thighs to pan, cook stirring frequently for about 12 minutes
Once boiling, turn heat to medium and let it simmer untouched for about 20-25 minutes until all liquid is absorbed This is how the soccorat is created. It can be helpful to turn pan every 5 minutes to avoid hot spots. Be sure to watch and use your nose so rice doesn't burn. You want the rice at the bottom of the pan crispy but not burned.
Once liquid is absorbed, add artichoke hearts or peas, and tuck shrimp into rice (this will steam cook the shrimp), cook for five minutes on low or until shrimp is cooked through
Turn off heat and let sit for 5 minutes
Sprinkle with tomatoes and parsley, serve, scraping the bottom of pan to get that crispy soccorat! Add lemon wedges on the side for squeezing. Enjoy!
