Surf N Turf Paella Recipes

SURF AND TURF FOR TWO

Steps:

• Whisk 1 tablespoon olive oil, butter, onion, wine, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, parsley, seafood seasoning, garlic, and black pepper together in a bowl; add shrimp. Toss to coat evenly. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for flavors to blend, at least 15 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Coat steaks with 2 teaspoons olive oil; sprinkle with steak seasoning.
• Cook steaks until they are beginning to firm and have reached your desired doneness, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Transfer steaks to a platter and loosely tent with a piece of aluminum foil.
• Remove shrimp from marinade and grill until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

SURF 'N TURF PAELLA

Steps:

• Cook rice in a large pot of generously salted boiling water, as you would cook pasta, until it is tender, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season each side of the steak with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and spray the steak with nonstick spray. Add the steak and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Flip and continue cooking on the other side until browned, 5 minutes more. Transfer the cooked steak to a plate and let rest.
• Heat the oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, onion, and bell pepper. Cook, covered, over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, broken spaghetti, chicken broth, and saffron and cook until the pasta is cooked through, 8 minutes. Drain the rice and add to the pot along with the peas. Stir until warm. Arrange the shrimp on top of the rice, cover and let shrimp steam until shrimp is just cooked through and pink, about 3 minutes.
• While the shrimp cooks, slice steak against the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices. Lay over the paella. Remove from the heat. Scatter cilantro and olives over the top and serve warm from the pan.

CHICKEN SURF 'N' TURF QUINOA PAELLA

Steps:

• In a large skillet or paella pan on medium-high, heat oil. Add chicken, onion, bell peppers, garlic, cumin and paprika and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add quinoa, broth, lemon zest and juice, pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer on medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed and quinoa becomes a little tender (but not soggy), about 7 to 8 minutes. Add a little more stock, if required, to maintain a moist consistency. Add shrimp and peas and cover until shrimp is cooked and quinoa is al dente, about 5 to 8 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper.

SURF AND TURF PAELLA

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat some olive oil and lightly cook the garlic. Add the onions and peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are nearly translucent, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Add the cuttlefish and tomatoes and mix well. Add the chorizo, paprika, white pepper, bay leaf and 8 grams salt. Stir well and let simmer until the cuttlefish softens and the liquid reduces, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to sit.
• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (350 degrees F). Spread the chicken and rabbit on a baking sheet and roast until cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes.
• In a paella pan over medium heat, combine the green oil, 4 cups of the vegetable-cuttlefish mixture (save the remaining for another use) and the rice. Stir so that the rice picks up the flavor of all the ingredients.
• Add the chicken and rabbit, the saffron and the remaining teaspoon salt to the paella pan; mix well. Add the hot fish stock, stir, and cook over high heat, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Add the clams, mussels, langoustines and prawns, placing them decoratively on top of the dish. Transfer to the oven and bake until the stock is completely absorbed and the seafood is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle the paella with parsley. Serve with quarters of lemon.
