How to make Seafood and Chicken Paella

This week with Crazyguykurt Cooks, we will be looking at the classic Spanish dish - Paella. On any normal day, rice gets to play the best supporting role. But today, along with the sexy saffron, it takes centre stage in this recipe. With the addition of both Seafood and chicken, its packed full of flavour. And I also, add chorizo for and extra measure and yes, I know its not an authentic paella ingredient, but i just love the smokiness and flavour it adds to the meal.

😆😅🤣😂🤣😂 a valencian here. Don't teach what you don't master: onions, chorizo, stock ?!!! 🤭🤭🤭

[@annal4637]

I made this last night and it was perfect. Lots of compliments. Thank you!

[@wendytube007]

I've looked at loads of recipes for paella and I appreciate the detail that this particular content Creator has gone into to help me re-create the dish that I enjoyed in Andalusia. I probably won't use chorizo as I do agree it's a little strong for the seafood and might overpower it but culturally maybe he likes stronger flavours, so for those complaining, try lettting people express themselves.

[@marceneogawa7617]

I don’t care what anyone else thinks…this is DELICIOUS!!! And my hubby loved it for his birthday 🥳🥘✝️🩷

Let me know how it goes

[@pete8516]

@@CRAZYGUYKURTCOOKS will do…I think I will make a slight change to the recipe by cooking the chicken with the chorizo…then add the onion and red pepper..garlic…

[@pete8516]

Our guests loved it! Local mussels were not available so just used a few more prawns….timing was bang on, the Spanish Bomba Rice I used suggested a 3-1 liquid to rice ratio so that’s what I used and I added 1 minute on high heat at the end to make sure the bottom of the pan had that nice crispy texture which it did..will make it again soon

[@0230Raveena]

Hahaha. So funny. I had the same reaction ..." ITS PAELLA!!!".....And realized that perhaps I'm not even saying it right but however you say it, the goal is to make sure its always very good and then who cares how to pronounce it. :-)

[@jarrodgrabham2980]

Good job mate - funny, informative and full of life, just as a great cook should be!

[@marcuslarwa9098]

Most other chefs say the onions always go in first, caramelizing the onions brings out the sweetness and flavors of the onions.

[@CRAZYGUYKURTCOOKS]

Great! Thanks for that Marcus

[@marcuslarwa9098]

@@CRAZYGUYKURTCOOKS I’m no chef And for some reason my KZbin has brought me down the cooking rabbit hole. I have heard most chefs say the onions go in first but I have no clue if it’s true or not. Like most things there’s more then one way to skin a cat. Good luck with the channel. 👍🏻

[@CRAZYGUYKURTCOOKS]

@@marcuslarwa9098 thanks Marcus. I like to infuse the onions with the flavour of the chorizo. Hence me putting it in first. But that’s why I love cooking, there are so many ways you can approach things! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@tashalachacha]

Aaah the stock!!!! That's the secret! Thanks so much! Question.... Can you use a cast iron skillet if you don't have a paella pan?

[@CRAZYGUYKURTCOOKS]

Hello. Yes you can, I would just watch the temperature very carefully. You want to develop the crust but I think in a cast iron pan you run the risk of developing a lot more char than necessary. So I would just be careful of running too high a temperature.

[@MrJustliketht]

I'm making this tonight... I'll let you know how it goes, looks amazing, the only concern I have is most of the liquid not being sucked in by the rice and it being too watery. Wish me luck EDIT: Was really really solid... Good recipe!!

[@CRAZYGUYKURTCOOKS]

Thanks very much! Glad it turned out well!

[@TheDouglash]

I too made this camping using a camp stove outside in 35 degree F weather. it it too was very wet. The crust was very good and every bit of what I made was eaten. My friends (6 adults) said it didn’t look like the picture but it was GOOD!

[@TheDouglash]

Uh OH...I used Arborillo rice not Bomba rice and used the 2 liters of liquid. Arbirillo requires less liquid than Bomba rice so that must be why my dish was wet.

[@DragonFruitDelish1]

Hi crazy chef, so cooking time is 10 min on high, then 5-10 min, is that on low or medium? You said on second heat change as low for 5 min then you said 10 min on med…. Then remove to cool off flame and no foil tent? Please clarify the final or second flame size and minutes please. Thx

[@sams9124]

Excellent dish! Please note the best Saffron in the world is from Iran. Also, Iran produces 93% of the worlds saffron exports; grade A saffron 😋

You didn’t show us the crust on the bottom of the rice!

What’s the correct pronunciation? You tell us.

@@mohuasendasgupta5799in the video it is pronounced “payela” while it is correctly pronounced “pah-eh-ya”

Is it one thigh for person meaning this recipe is for 6 people? Can you confirm or it for12 guests as it’s 12 chicken half pieces and 12 shrimps?

Is real bomba or round rices 4:2? What is it if it’s arborrio rice?

[@danicai]

That's what we call in Spain, "rice with things, not paella"

[@SophiesWorld2024]

😂😂😂 why is it not paella?

[@SophiesWorld2024]

I once had a vegetarian lasagne made by Indians. It had mushy peas in it! A lot of mushy peas.

[@danicai]

@@SophiesWorld2024 first thing, you don't mix seafood and chicken. You might think , But I like it. Ok but then it's your thing not paella. If you mix cheese, fries, chicken, mince meat, tomato sauce you won't call it mac n cheese.

[@alfonsoveerapen8251]

Where can one purchase the Paella rice you used in this video

[@soumayaelallaoui7987]

It looks very yummy, can I use basmati rice in this dish?

[@LectroBer]

You're supposed to use a short grain, but basmati might work

[@connoralexanderfx]

do i need to clean the rice before adding it to the pan please ?

[@CRAZYGUYKURTCOOKS]

Hi there. Not necessary to clean the rice as you want the starch build up in this case.

thank you ! your video is.awesome ❤and im going to make this paella step by step for my girl friends family when they visit next month from tenerife , ill let you know how it goes .@@CRAZYGUYKURTCOOKS

[@Stuart2562]

You don’t put chorizo in.

[@missafabletv1209]

Hahaha so funny

[@DavidDavido-er1ku]

No chorizo in Paella,the reason is that you are expending big money in those expensive seafood that is gonna taste like chorizo...in Spain we make seafood paella o meat paella,we never make mix paella.Only bad restaurants for tourists make it Good things you have done:correct rice and home made stock.

[@josepmariaduaigues7901]

No poner chorizo en la paella, es un error .

[@juanherrerohernandez8215]

CHORIZOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONONONONONO!!!! VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT!!! CHORIZO NOOOOOO!!!

[@DennisNowland]

A proper paella does not have both meat and fish in it at the same time

[@apistosig4173]

Hey Man - there is nothing that cannot be added to Paella - all that is important is the method used in the cooking eg: we want to end up with paella and not risotto.

Not true, Valencia’s use rabbit or chicken. Regardless, this is a delicious version in its own right!

[@lizandrohernandez6503]

Spanish don’t mix seafood and meat on their paella. Is seafood paella or the original paella of chicken and rabit nothing else if you mixed both is not a paella. Specially if you go to Valencia Spain you are not going to see a mixed paella.

@@AlexM-sg8fn Not true! If there is a name for a dish (paella), then it must be prepared in the same way as paella!
