The Spanish are famous for their rice dishes. This dish is reminiscent of their paella in that it is made with chicken and shrimp.

Cook 8-10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in tomatoes and tomato paste. Continue to cook 3-5 minutes. Pour in chicken stock and blend well. Bring to a rolling boil then stir in rice.
