Ingredients:

Serving

2/3 cup yellow rice ( goya)
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 small shallot, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 lb large shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/2 lb chorizo sausage, sliced
1 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp chicken broth
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1/3 cup frozen peas

Directions:

In a large saute pan, heat olive oil, then add rice and stir until it browns lightly (the way you would cook rice-a-roni).
Stir in shallot and garlic and continue to saute for only about a minute, so the garlic doesn't burn.
Add shrimp, chorizo, and broth. Cover pan tightly and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 18 minutes.
Remove lid, add parsley and peas and cook until heated through. Continue cooking uncovered until all liquid is absorbed.
