loublou80, here’s the recipe 

Get Prepped Get Prepped Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Boil your kettle, then pour the boiled water for the rice (see pantry for amount) into a measuring jug. Add the chicken stock paste and stir well to combine - this is your chicken stock. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Cut into 2cm pieces. Chorizo and Rice Time Heat a drizzle of oil in a large ovenproof pan on medium heat. TIP: If you don't have an ovenproof pan, use a normal pan and transfer to an ovenproof dish before baking. Once hot, add the chorizo and fry, stirring frequently, until it starts to brown, 2-3 mins. Stir the garlic, smoked paprika and risotto rice into the chorizo. Cook until the edges of the rice are translucent, 1-2 mins. Bake your Paella Stir your chicken stock into the rice. Bring back to the boil, then pop a lid on the pan (or cover with foil). Bake on the middle shelf of your oven until the rice is cooked and the water has been absorbed, 20-25 mins. Meanwhile, zest and halve the lemon (see ingredients for amount). Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all). Toss the lemon zest and half the parsley together in a small bowl. Set aside. Cook the Prawns Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat. Drain the prawns and pat dry with kitchen paper. Once hot, add the pepper and fry until just soft, 3-4 mins. Continue to stir while it cooks. Turn the heat down to medium-high, then add the prawns. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 mins. Once cooked, remove from the heat and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice. Keep warm. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. They're cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle. Combine and Stir When your paella is cooked, remove it from the oven. Stir through the remaining parsley and the peppers. Season to taste with a squeeze of lemon juice, salt and pepper if needed. TIP: Add a splash of water to loosen the paella if needed. Garnish and Serve Share your ultimate king prawn and chorizo paella between your bowls. Finish with a sprinkle of the parsley and lemon zest mixture over the top. Enjoy! 

Thanks olsste!! ❤️
