This is a slightly modified authentic Spanish Paella recipe. I've added shrimp to the chicken which really adds another dimension. I also have added some extras that you don't normally seen in Paella recipes. Don't be freightened by the number of ingredients, the dish isn't difficult to make.

How to make it
- In a medium-large bowl, mix up 2 tbspns olive oil, oregano, paprika, and salt and pepper. Stir in your cut chicken pieces. Cover this and refrigerate.
- Heat up 2 tbspns of olive oil in a large frying-pan (or paella pan) over medium temp. Stir in the garlic, red pepper, and rice. Cook (for about 3 minutes) and stir this in order to coat the rice with oil. Now stir in saffron, bay leaf, chicken stock, parsley, and lemon zest. Bring this to a boil, cover it, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for approximately 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tbspns of olive oil in a separate frying-pan over medium heat. Then stir in your marinated chicken and onion and cook for about 5 minutes. Stir in the chopped bell pepper and sausage. Cook this for 5 minutes. Stir in your shrimp and cook until both sides of the shrimp are pink.
- Spread your cooked rice mixture onto a serving dish and top with your meat and seafood. Ta-Da!
