I LOVE Paella, but when you add Saffron Threads, chicken, imported chorizo and loads of shellfish, it becomes an expensive, special occasion meal! This recipe uses Ontario Pork Hot Italian Sausages, mussels, shrimp and paprika to create a soul satisfying meal that can be enjoyed every week!

Directions
Preheat the grill to medium heat.
Grill the sausages, over direct heat (lid closed), until browned and fully cooked (8-10 minutes, turning 4 times). Remove sausages, thinly slice and reserve.
Alternatively, in a large skillet (with a lid), heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat, add sausages and cook until browned and fully cooked (8-10 minutes). Remove sausages, thinly slice and reserve.
Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan, then the onion, jalapeño, peppers, and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes. Add rice and stir to coat, add paprika, tomatoes, parsley, broth and water. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
Stir in the shrimp, mussels, peas and sliced sausage. Cover and continue cooking until the shrimp are opaque and mussels open, 5 to 7 minutes.
Recipe Note
If too much water has been absorbed prior to adding seafood, add ½ cup more water at a time, until seafood is properly cooked.
