Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 5 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 ½ cups Arborio rice

  • 2 ounces dried chorizo, cut into ¼-inch cubes

  • ¼ cup dry white wine

  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth

  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained

  • ¾ pound large shrimp (31 to 35), peeled and deveined (tails left on, if desired)

  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat oil and garlic over medium. Cook until garlic is fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in rice and chorizo and cook until rice is translucent, 3 minutes.

  2. Add wine and cook, stirring, until evaporated, 2 minutes. Add broth and tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until rice is tender and most of liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes.
