I created this recipe to replicate paella for a crowd. I love paella, but it's expensive and not everyone likes the mussels and sausage in it. Serve this dish with a good Spanish wine and some bread and oil and it will be a sure crowd-pleaser!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 , 7 ounce
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil , divided
  • 0.5 cups diced onion
  • 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp , peeled and deveined
  • 1 green bell pepper , diced
  • 1 red bell pepper , diced
  • 1 tablespoon sweet and spicy seafood seasoning , such as McCormick®
  • 0.5 cups fresh parsley , or to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add rice mix and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Boil for 1 minute; cover and reduce heat. Simmer until water is absorbed, about 25 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until just soft, about 2 minutes. Add shrimp, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and seafood seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are bright pink, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Mound rice on each plate; top with a portion of the pepper-shrimp mixture and a generous sprinkling of parsley.
