Paella Casserole

This Paella Casserole is exciting and crave-worthy!!! A zesty twist on Paella with the flavors of spicy sausage, succulent shrimp with No Yolks® tossed in a light, yet flavorful sauce made with peppers, onions and tomatoes and seasoned with paprika and saffron.

Casseroles have come a long way and this one is a sassy-full, filling meal with all of the flavors you love and want for dinner.

Classic

Today’s recipe is near and dear to my heart. With cooking at home so much more this year, I find we want bold flavors and things that are a little out of the ordinary.

Chicken And Chorizo Paella Recipe

We love them and especially love that they are the perfect thing to add to casseroles. With all of the cooking we do these days, casseroles are a great way to make full- flavor and unique meals (not boring as I remember as a kid) to keep dinner exciting and fresh!

I’m thrilled to partner with No Yolks® to share a recipe you can use for an exciting weeknight dinner or a special occasion meal that is not only delicious but is easy, full of zesty flavor and loaded with great ingredients. All opinions, as always, are my own.

This Paella Casserole is a great way to feed a big family or small dinner party very economically. You can serve it for special occasions because its filled with quality ingredients with the shrimp and chorizo along with the No Yolks® in a light flavorful sauce that everyone will enjoy.

Added bonus— it can be made all in one pan so not only is it a delicious and filling meal but it’s also an easy clean-up!

I love the No Yolks® Broad for this recipe. They are made with egg whites giving them a fluffy smooth texture and they can be used in any casserole and will complement the dish with its tasty, butter flavor.

Casseroles often get a bad rap of being boring but today’s recipe is not that at all. It’s loaded with so many great flavors and delicious ingredients your family will be asking for it on a regular basis!

An Easy Recipe For Artichoke Hearts, Oven Baked Paella

I ordered the ingredients throughWalmart’s OPD (Online Pick-up and Delivery.) It was super easy to use the app to place my order for everything: No Yolks® Broad, chorizo, shrimp, and all the pantry items.

I drove up, let them know I was there and they brought the order out and placed it in my car. Talk about easy and stress-free. You can find them online here!

Everything to make this are common ingredients you either have in your pantry or can easily find. The one ingredient I’m asked most about is the Saffron Threads.

Birthday Party Paella Recipe

It takes 50, 000 flowers to get a pound of threads and they need to be harvested in a short time window. They are still harvested by hand which is why they are a little pricy.

Why spend the money? They give a great color and offer a subtle flavor that really boosts any recipe they are used it.

It’s worth purchasing them for the flavor and since it takes very few threads in a recipe if your store them in an airtight container they will last a very long time.

Best Paella Recipe

When preparing the No Yolks® Broad follow the directions on the package. I took their suggestion for adding salt to the water to prevent stickiness in them. It made it easy for them to separate and not be clumpy.

Don’t worry that the sausage isn’t completely cooked through when you first cook it, it will finish up when being baked in the oven.

If you don’t want to have a lot of dishes to clean up, use an oven-proof skillet like a cast iron skillet to make the casserole in and go ahead and serve it directly from the skillet.

Using larger shrimp gives a great presentation. Bigger shrimp just scream elegance in dining! You can save money on shrimp by buying them when they are on sale and keeping them in the freezer handy whenever you want to serve them.

The recipe is easily customizable to what you can find at the market which is super helpful these days. For example, you could add chicken or use other shellfish like clams and mussels like traditional paella too.

Can I make the Paella Casserole ahead of time? This recipe can absolutely be made ahead of time. Make it completely. You’ll want to let it completely cool before covering it and placing it into the fridge until about an hour before you want to serve it. Let it come to room temp (about 30 mins, ) then bake until warmed throughout.

We don’t have many leftovers unless I double the recipe but it can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days. You may need to add a little chicken broth or even a little milk if it is a little dry after a couple of days when you are rewarming it.

Can I freeze this Paella Casserole? You can freeze this easily. Keep it in a sealed container. You’ll need to let it thaw completely before warming it to eat.

I know, I know… this is not an authentic Spanish dish… not even close! Still, it was paella that inspired it, so I figured it was kinda, sorta, wannabe Spanish. And, plus, I had no idea what to call it. Sometimes, it’s easier to come up with a recipe than to come up with a name for it! I mean, what do you call a paella inspired rice dish with a Spanish flair? 

Bah! I guess in the end, it’s not that important. What really really counts is that it tastes crazy good, and that it fills your body up with awesome nourishment!

If you’re a fan of paella but like me, don’t care much for shells and other inedible items in your plate, if you’re not a fan of

Your first course of action should be to cook your favorite kind of long grain rice according to the directions on the package, then set it aside so it has a chance to cool while you work on the rest of the dish.

Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large saute pan set over medium heat heat; once hot, add the pieces of chicken and sausage and cook until brown on all sides and the meat is fully cooked, about 10 minutes total.

Note that I used merguez sausage cuz that’s what I felt like eating that day, but if you wanted to keep this more “in-line” with the paella and Spanish theme, feel free to use chorizo, instead!

Now remove the cooked meat to a plate, then add the sliced onion, garlic, mushrooms and jalapeno peppers to the pan; cook until slightly softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

Of course, if you’re not a fan of heat, feel free to leave those jalapeno peppers out, or to use
