This Easy Paella Recipe makes a vibrant one-pan dish that's perfect for weeknight dinners and special occasions! It requires only a few easy-to-find ingredients -- the ease and flavor of this tasty paella will make this gluten and dairy-free recipe a favorite in your home!

Easy Paella Recipe

shrimp,

olive oil

yellow onion, diced

red bell peppers,

garlic,

tomato puree

arborio rice

vegetable broth

lemon, juiced (1 lemon provides about 2 tablespoons of juice)

¼ cup chopped Italian flat leaf parsley

paprika

turmeric (or saffron -- see notes)**

Bay leaves

cumin

cayenne pepper

In a large frying pan on medium heat, sear the shrimp -- cook for about 2 minutes total, flipping mid-way. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.

Add oil, onion, and bell pepper to the pan. Saute on medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften.

Lower the heat to medium and add garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes or until garlic is fragrant and golden brown.

Then add tomato puree, rice, broth, parsley, and spices. Bring to a low boil for 15 minutes or until rice is mostly cooked, stirring on occasion.

Add shrimp and bury them in the paella. Cook for 5 minutes more, stirring as needed. For a vegan paella, replace shrimp with pre-cooked or thawed frozen green peas.

Turn off the heat. If rice is still too firm, cover with a lid and towel (still no heat) until liquid is absorbed and rice is al dente.

Add lemon juice or serve with lemon wedges and enjoy!

I make this ALL the time!  Thank you, Jamie!  I spiced it up with some Andouille sausage which kicks the spice up a little.  This has become one of my family's favorites!

I made this the other day. I love that you can make it with or without saffron. My family really enjoyed it!

This is my go to Paella recipe! Thank you so much for making one that's simple Jamie!
