It took me a while to settle upon a recipe for this months challenge, but I finally decided to relive my two-month internship in Barcelona, Spain.

I received a full paid scholarship to be able to accept the internship, and needless to say I cherish the memories of those two months deeply.  I made unforgettable friendships and memories that will absolutely stand the test of time.

Simple One Pot Mixed Paella

While I was there I worked at a company called Starlab and did marketing research for the aerospace division.  I remember I put together a huge report for their hydro-engineering division.  Unless I went back and read it, that is pretty much all I could tell you about it.

It seemed like all the other interns were working at wineries or barely going to their internship while I was working full 6-8 hour days with the longest commute on the train (excluding the siesta lunch hour.)  I know, poor me, I have so much to complain about.  Let me go grab my world’s smallest violin so you can play it for me while I complain about an experience of a life time.

One thing my friends and I always joke about is how we lived on yogurt, bread, wine and Hardrock Cafe Nachos for two months.

Healthy Paella (rr: August 2016)

I’m not sure what the food is like in Spain because I’ve heard that Barcelona kind of marches to the beat of its own drum with everything, including food.  They even speak a different language, Catalan, so although I spoke a decent amount of Spanish, I still couldn’t converse very well.  The best comparison I’ve heard is it’s like Austin in the middle of Texas if that means anything to you.

The famous traditional dish that I’m sharing with you today is one that I was actually served several times when I was there, and I’m not sure if I liked it because I never ate it.

I’m 100% sure this is because I couldn’t get past the shrimp with legs and a head thing. I couldn’t believe it when I found a picture of it, suspicions confirmed.  Come on, that’s creepy!

A Super Healthy, Super Easy Green Paella Recipe

I know that is normal in the majority of the world, but I couldn’t do it.  So, I decided to recreate the dish for today’s post!  I used this classic recipe to inspire me and then did my own thing with pre-peeled shrimp.

It came out really delicious and was really quick to make, it’s healthy, low carb, and you can use shrimp without eyes.  Side note, when I was making this yesterday the guy that came over to bug spray said it smelled amazing like a restaurant.

You may not want to make this if you don’t want your neighbors knocking on your door asking you what that amazing smell is!

Chicken & Chorizo Paella

First, what is paella? It’s a Spanish dish that usually consists of rice, chicken, saffron, and seafood. It’s then slow cooked in low heat in a pan to make the flavors come together.

To make this nutritious dish you only need ingredients that are very easy to find on markets and groceries. You can also add other veggies and seasoning that you like — such as bell peppers, olive oil, sugar snap peas, thyme, chorizo, etc.

Plus it’s very easy to make. All you need to do is cook your proteins then add some vegetables that you want and season it according to your liking. It may look hard but I swear, this is easier than the regular, full-blown traditional paella.

Heart Healthy Recipe

This dish is perfect for everyone’s special diets. Just a little tweak depending on what diet you’re into. It’s packed with protein, potassium, dietary fibers, calcium, iron, vitamin A, and vitamin C.

Easy Peasy Paella

Knowing that you’re enjoying the meals I’ve worked hard for in my kitchen matters to me so much. It overwhelms to know that you’re achieving your fitness and weight loss easily without depriving yourselves of yummy and filling foods.

Cook rice according to the instructions given and set aside. To save time and space in the kitchen, I use a rice cooker to prepare the rice.

Set a (cast-iron) skillet on medium high heat and add 2 tablespoons coconut oil. Once it has melted, add red onion and garlic paste. Stir with a wooden spoon and cook until the edges of the red onion have browned.

Low Calorie Chicken Paella Recipe

Toss in raw, chopped chicken breasts and cook until the chicken is about 75% cooked. Do not be alarmed if some parts of the chicken are still pink.

Pour in chicken broth and then add saffron. Allow the contents to simmer and gently stir. Allow it cook for about 3 minutes. If you would like, add fresh lemon juice.
