Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Heat the olive oil in a large paella pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and just cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
2
Add the red bell pepper to the pan and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add the artichoke hearts and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
3
Add the Arborio rice to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the rice is lightly toasted. Add the saffron threads, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pan and stir to combine.
4
Add the cherry tomatoes to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to release their juices. Add the cooked shrimp back to the pan and stir to combine.
5
Add 2 cups of water to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid has been absorbed. Remove the pan from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
