- If using saffron, make an infusion with the saffron threads in the chicken stock. Heat the frying pan and add in the oil. Quickly saute/fry the chicken until golden brown on all sides, remove to a platter. Add in the onions, garlic, tomato, and saute/fry till tender. Add in the tumeric, and paprika, cook slightly. Add in rice and saute/fry briefly to coat well. Pour on the broth, s & p to taste. Add in the chicken, peas, shrimp, and stir to mix well. Sprinkle parsley on top.
- Place sliced pepperoni in a decorative design on top. Cook over medium heat, uncovered, for 15-20 min, till rice is done and liquid absorbed. You can move the pan on the burner, but don't stir.
- The paella pan is usually quite large, at least 12 inches in diameter.
