Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Heat the olive oil in a large paella pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo slices and cook until crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the chorizo from the pan and set aside.
2
Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the saffron threads and smoked paprika, and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
3
Add the shrimp and mussels to the pan, and cook until the seafood is lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
4
Add the seafood broth to the pan, and bring to a boil. Add the fideus and cook until the noodles are al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5
Return the chorizo to the pan and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the fideus is coated in the flavorful broth. Serve hot, garnished with lemon wedges and fresh parsley.
